===Non-disbudded===

Buds are allowed to develop naturally in non-disbudded type plants.  The non-disbudded are grouped according their habits:
 +
 +
*Spray chrysanthemums - stems have several flowers.  Forms on spray group plants are single, intermediate, reflexed, anemone-centered, pompon, spoon-shaped or quill-shaped.  Primarily grown as garden or cutting plants.  In an exhibition, each pedicel must have one flowerhead, and the terminal flowerhead must be present, each having at least 5 adjacent flowerheads.  Plants in this group grown commercially normally have the central bud removed to give the plant a more rounded shape.
 +
*Charm chrysanthemums - dwarf, bushy, domed habit which is basically spherical, giving hundreds of single-form flowers up to 1 inch (2.5cm) across.  They are allowed to grow without stopping or training no matter if they are for the garden, exhibition or as a bonsai.
 +
*Cascade chrysanthemums - flowers are like those of the charm, but trained into different shapes including cascades, pyramids, fans and pillars.  Like the charm, these are suitable for bonsai, as well as gardens and exhibitions.
 +
*Pompon chrysanthemums - dwarf, bushy plants.  50 or more flowers are densely arranged, either spherically or hemispherically on a plant.  These work well in herbaceous borders.
