Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Dendranthema x grandiflorum ‘Golden Yellow’

A cultivar of Dendranthema x grandiflorum Kitam. Marigold flowered chrysanthemum.  ‘A very tall, handsome, and free-flowering variety.  The flowers are early, and of a high rich yellow colour, but bronzed and orange in the buds and on their outsides.  This is one of the best to grow as a standard; and, if parted at the root and annually transplanted, succeeds very well as a herbaceous plant, especially if in a warm or sheltered situation, duly supported by a stick.’    [FC p.73/1833].  It is figured in the Botanical Register with double yellow, somewhat reflexed petals.  [BR f.4/1815].
