Dendranthema ‘Beppe Purple’ is a captivating perennial chrysanthemum, admired for its vibrant, purple-hued blooms with cheerful yellow centres. Flowering from late summer into autumn, it brings a bold splash of colour to the garden during the cooler months. Its daisy-like flowers are borne in abundance on compact, bushy plants, reaching a manageable height of up to around 1m. This makes it an excellent choice for borders, containers, or as a focal point in seasonal displays. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Beppe Purple’ is half-hardy to around -5°C, and as easy to care for as it is beautiful, requiring minimal maintenance beyond occasional deadheading to promote extended flowering. The deep purple tones of its blooms pair beautifully with autumnal yellows, oranges, and reds, creating striking planting combinations. Dendranthema ‘Beppe Purple’ is also loved by pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies to the garden. Additionally, its long-lasting flowers make it a stunning choice for fresh floral arrangements, adding a touch of vibrant elegance indoors.
