Chrysanthemum morifolium (Dendranthema grandiflorum), known as florist’s daisy is an important ornamental and medicinal plant of the Asteraceae family. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of one economic cultivar ‘Baekma’ was 151,060 bp in length with a large single copy (LSC) region (82,862 bp), a small single copy (SSC) region (18,294 bp) and two inverted repeats (IRs) (24,952 bp). It contained 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs and 37 tRNAs. The overall GC content was 37%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. morifolium ‘Baekma’ was grouped together with other Chrysanthemum species.
