Chrysanthemum Bronze Muriel is an early-flowering garden cushion Chrysanthemum. This variety typically forms a neat, well-branched plant that flowers generously.
With stems reaching around 50–80 cm, it’s tall enough for bouquets, yet compact enough to sit comfortably in borders or large pots. Like other early-flowering chrysanthemums, it benefits from a prune after the first flush to encourage further blooms later in the season.
‘Bronze Muriel’ is a rewarding chrysanthemum that performs well with minimal fuss.
Blooming Period: December to March
Suitable For: Cut flowers, garden displays, and exhibitions
