Chrysanthemum leaves can be different in size and shape; they are thin, flat, ovate, and similar in shape to oak leaves. They are attached to a pale green to white stem and can be glossy or hairy, depending on the species. The sap-green leaves grow in an alternating pattern and are divided into leaflets with serrated edges. There are two main varieties of Chrysanthemum leaves: small leaf and broadleaf. Both varieties have long green leaves attached to a slightly fibrous pale green to white stem.
