Red Breast is a lovely charm-type chrysanthemum with a low, spreading habit and a fine network of branching stems. It produces masses of pretty single flowers that last exceptionally well, often putting on a display for up to a month. Red Breast blooms are traditionally used to decorate Anzac wreaths, giving this variety special significance. A dependable, no-fuss plant that quietly earns its place in the garden, the entire plant is also suitable for entry into horticultural shows.
