What is Zarugiku

Zarugiku (scientific name: Chrysanthemum morifolium 'Zarugiku') is a chrysanthemum that became known by zarugiku-en (Mr. Saburo Suzuki) at Kuno, Odawara city. Flower name is based on the fact that the grass shape resembles a bamboo basket lying down. The basic species is considered to be a cushion mum type variety. In the autumn, it makes thousands of small florets bloom on a single stock. Flower color has yellow, red, white, pink and so on. For chrysanthemums, please refer to {{chrysanthemum}}.

Since the name is based on a Japanese word, it might be unclear in English or Chinese. Ideally, I hope non-native Japanese speakers will learn Japanese and understand the original text in its original form.
