In the garden

Chrysanthemum 'Peach Courtier' (24a) belongs to the genus Chrysanthemum in the Asteraceae and forms a clump of stems that die back to the crown in winter. Flowering runs from August to October, providing a late-season display and stems suitable for cutting. Plant in full sun on a south-facing, sheltered spot to reduce winter exposure and promote reliable flowering. The cultivar tolerates loam, sand or clay soils and accepts acid, neutral or alkaline pH provided the soil remains moist but well drained; avoid waterlogging around the crown. It is rated H4 (average hardiness), so it suits most UK gardens though very exposed sites will benefit from additional shelter in severe winters. Use Chrysanthemum 'Peach Courtier' (24a) in mixed borders for late-summer structure, in containers where soil can be kept reliably moist, or grow specifically for cutting to bring late-summer stems indoors. Its deciduous habit means the clump will retreat after flowering, ready to regrow the following season when conditions are favourable.
