There are thousands of varieties of chrysanthemums created through selective breeding. Chrysanthemums can be divided into categories based on the type of flower, defined by the arrangement of its individual flowers, called florets.
Besides being pretty to look at, chrysanthemums have other useful purposes. The petals can be used to brew tea to relieve a variety of physical symptoms, like sore throat, headaches, and to aid digestion. Additionally, their leaves and stems are used as ingredients in Chinese cuisine. The oil extracted from the flower is also used in aromatherapy and as a natural insecticide. - Source
