The Cheryl Frosty White is a highly popular, perennial fall-blooming garden chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) known for its large, crisp white double flowers. Developed by Syngenta Flowers, this early-to-mid-season cultivar features a uniform, naturally mounding ball-shaped growing habit and exceptional tolerance to high summer heat.
Key Characteristics & Growth Profile

- Bloom Period: Early fall, typically peaking around mid-September to mid-October.
- Size Profile: Reaches a mature height of 30–60 cm (12–24 inches) and a spread of 30–60 cm (12–24 inches).
- Hardiness Zones: Performs best as a perennial in USDA Zones 5 through 9.

Planting & Care Tips
