Chrysanthemum, Chinese Gong-ju-hua (Chrysanthemum morifolium) plant in a 9 inch pot, organic
$21.00
Family: Aster (Asteraceae)
Hardy to Zones 5 to 10
(Autumn Chrysanthemum, Huangshan gongju) Evergreen subshrub native to China, an ancient cultigen that cannot be propagated by seed. This is a choice cultivar with small, fall to early winter blossoming flowers of yellow and cream. Strong flavor, taste sweet to slightly bitter, a superior flower for making Chrysanthemum tea. The main harvest of these flowers occurs in my Zone 7 garden around November 15, significantly later than the Bo-ju-hua cultivar. Plant prefers sun and well-drained garden soil, frequent watering. Space plants 2 feet apart.
Potted plant, Certified Organically Grown

Han Kim –
Fabulous ju hua plants! Every individual plant has become a huge flowering cluster of stems with over 100 blooms per big pot. Now I have three of these. I bought a small electric toaster oven that has very low temps to use as a dehydrator, so I will dry these blooms. I see that Richo’s latest book has wine (!) instructions, too, and I’ll add that book to my next order. Ancient Chinese medicine texts say that wine is the best way to release all of the flower’s compounds…hey, I figure it can’t hurt to drink it throughout the winter, what do I have to lose. Richo, thanks for all your growing advice through the years!! Everything is big and strong now.
