The Chrysanthemum genus is very broad with about 160 species.  The more popular ones are of the species C. morifolium, better known as Florists' Chrysanthemum.  These bloom in autumn, are the most useful, with a rainbow of colors and flower forms, as well as growth habits.  The flowers are good cut flowers as well.  The Shasta Daisy (C. maximum) is another popular species that is a heavy summer and fall bloom of white flowers with gold centers, with varying flower forms.  The number of cultivars is probably countless, and growing quickly.  Below is a general breakout of the many types of groupings, which will simplify how to care for them.
