What is Edogiku Shinsyu no Kurenai"

Edo chrysanthemum (Edogiku "Haru-shinobu" , "New Autumn Crimson", Scientific Name: C. m. "Edogiku Haru-shinobu") is a classic variety of Edo chrysanthemum(C. m. "Edogiku") cultivated in the Edo period. This variety is characterized by its pale pink flowers.

Characteristics of Edo Chrysanthemum
The ray florets of E do chrysanthemum change in shape as they bloom, providing a month-long transformation that can be enjoyed. The blooming process begins with the outermost ray florets gradually opening inward to reveal the central yellow disc florets, taking around 10 days. Then, the ray florets around the disc florets stand up, progressively moving toward the edge of the bloom over another 10 days. Afterward, the ray florets bend and twist, eventually covering the disc florets completely, completing their transformation in around 10 days.

Note: C. m. is an abbreviation of Chrysanthemum morifolium.
