Description
The 'Polar Star' Crested Chrysanthemum or Chrysanthemum carinatum 'Polar Star' is an annual plant often called Tricolour Daisy because of the different colours present on the flower.
The flower has the shape of a Daisy, which is called a head.
Its centre is composed of tiny tubular flowers which appear brown when closed. These flowers will gradually open in a circular fashion and reveal their yellow stamens. The outer part of this Daisy is composed of ligulate flowers, which means that part of it has transformed into a long white petal. A touch of yellow at the base of this petal seems to encircle the flower's centre.
The dominant white colour of the flower, highlighted by yellow and brown, is the appeal of this Tricolour Chrysanthemum (in Latin, Chrysanthemum tricolour).
Ismelia carinata, Ismelia versicolor, and Matricaria carinatum are synonyms of its name that you may come across here or there, but rest assured we are referring to the same plant.
It is a bushy plant that is not afraid of cold weather and can be sown d, directly in place in April-May.
Standing at 75 cm (29.5 in) tall, it integrates perfectly into a bed of perennial plants, completing the range of colours. Sown in a pot provides a long-lasting solution for decorating the terrace and balcony. Excellent vase life will allow you to create beautiful field bouquets from June to September.
Growing and adapting to all soil types is straightforward while preferring a sunny exposure.
As an ecological gesture: When sowing the Crested Chrysanthemum in your garden, you attract pollinating insects that will enjoy its nectar and thereby promote your garden's ecosystem.

Planting and care
Easy to grow, Chrysanthemum coronarium thrives in sunny, light, fresh, well-drained soil.
Sow your seeds in pots or cups in March-April. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost. Place your seedlings in a warm place at a temperature of around 18°C. It generally takes 5 to 10 days for the seeds to emerge. Once the plants are strong enough and there is no risk of frost, plant them in the garden. You can also sow your edible Chrysanthemums directly in the ground, in loosened soil, from May to June, once the last frosts have passed. Thin out your seedlings, keeping only the most developed plants every 30 to 40 cm.
To use the leaves as mesclun, a distance of 20 cm between your plants is sufficient. By staggering your sowings every three weeks, you can extend the semi-sowing period until August.
Watch out for slugs and snails, which love these young shoots.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
