Nipponanthemum nipponicum (Franchet ex Maxim.) Kitam., originating in Japan, is part of the hemicryptophyte perennial group. It is a valuable plant and it is noticeable by the fact that it blooms in a period when most of the flowering species end their period of decoration (September-November). In our country N. nipponicum is not known as an ornamental plant and has not been mentioned in any scientific work. As a result, in this paper we have proposed the study of the behavior in culture in order to introduce this species into the assortment. In Craiova city conditions, the flowering was observed at the beginning of October (4.10.) and the decoration duration was between 25 - 36 days. Analyzing the behavior of N. nipponicum plants under different cultivation conditions, it is observed that the plants grown in the sunny exhibition recorded the best results for all the analyzed parameters.
