Garland chrysanthemum is one of the few annual plants in its genus and has yellow florets grouped in small rayed flower heads and aromatic, bipinnately lobed leaves. The vegetable grows very well in mild or slightly cold climates, but will go quickly into premature flowering in warm summer conditions.
Leaves can be cut young and used in salads or stir fried like cress. The flower is also edible and is popular in oriental cuisine.[1]
