The Chrysanthemum (Indicum Grp) 'Tardel' is a beautiful and vibrant flower that belongs to the daisy family. Known for its double (pleniflorous) flower type, its petals are densely packed, creating a stunning and full appearance. The leaf margins of this chrysanthemum are serrate, meaning they have teeth-like edges that add texture to the plant.

One notable characteristic of the 'Tardel' chrysanthemum is its unscented flowers. While many flowers boast pleasant aromas, this particular variety focuses solely on its visual appeal. The flowers of the 'Tardel' chrysanthemum are medium yellow in color, with a shade that can be described as a lovely shade of yellow-medium yellow-007B. They have a diameter of about 3 to 3.5 centimeters, making them relatively small in comparison to some other types of chrysanthemums.

The 'Tardel' chrysanthemum forms inflorescences known as capitulums, or flower heads. These capitulums are made up of multiple small flowers clustered together, creating a striking display of color and texture. The flower heads are the main attraction of this chrysanthemum, drawing attention with their intricate and eye-catching appearance.

In contrast to the vibrant flowers, the leaves of the 'Tardel' chrysanthemum have a dark green color. This dark hue provides a beautiful contrast against the bright yellow flowers, allowing them to truly stand out. The rich green leaves serve as a backdrop, emphasizing the beauty and vibrancy of the blossoms.

As with all chrysanthemums, the 'Tardel' variety requires care and attention to thrive. It prefers a well-draining soil and regular watering to maintain its health. While it can tolerate full sun, it also appreciates some shade during the hottest parts of the day. Regular pruning and deadheading can promote new growth and ensure the plant remains tidy and blooming throughout the growing season.

The 'Tardel' chrysanthemum is a fantastic choice for garden beds, containers, or as part of a colorful floral arrangement. Its striking flowers, serrated leaf margins, and contrasting dark green leaves create a visual spectacle that is sure to catch the eye.
