I've just picked up a chrysanthemum from the local B&Q which was being
sold off cheaply because it had had only half a label and its pot was
damaged.
It's in full flower (pinky-white) and has hundreds of blossoms in a ball
shaped-plant...... about 12" tall..... very showy.
The only word I can see on the label appears to be Jasoda....something ?
Now I know nothing about chrysanths and I wonder if anyone can advise me
on what variety this might be and whether it is a HP or HHP.
Ideally, I would like to plant it in the garden...... I've got just the
spot..... but I'm not sure if it's safe to do so.

Can anyone help please.

There is a strain of Chrysanths, including Jasoda Pink and Jasoda White.
Try a google and see if there's a pic to match yours.

The Jasoda range of chrysanths are derived from the 'charm' chrysanthemums
which have been grown for many years in the UK. They are usually grown in 7"
pots which are placed outside once the risk of frost has gone. When grown
for show, the plants are turned 90 degrees every day to ensure that the
plant develops a symmetrical shape. They are normally taken under cover in
September and flower in October and November. They would be unlikely to
survive outside in the winter, dampness being as much a killer as frost.
They are normally propagated from cuttings taken under glass in February.
