In the garden

Chrysanthemum 'Payton Dale' (29c) is a cultivated member of the Asteraceae with a rounded, clump-forming habit and deciduous leaves. Its main season of bloom runs from August to October, providing late-summer into autumn colour when many other perennials are fading. The flowering period makes it suitable where late-season stems are wanted for display or cutting. For planting, choose a south-facing, sheltered position in loam with a neutral pH. The soil should remain moist but well-drained; avoid waterlogged pockets while ensuring the rootzone does not dry out completely. Give plants full sun to encourage the best flowering and positioning away from exposed ridgelines or windswept spots will reduce winter damage, reflecting its H4 (average) hardiness for the UK. Use Chrysanthemum 'Payton Dale' (29c) at the front or middle of a mixed border, in containers on a sunny patio, or as a source of late-season cut flowers. Its clump-forming habit means it fills a planting space without excessive spread, and the August–October flowering window supplies dependable stems for seasonal arranging.
