Chrysanthemums, a cold-hardy herbaceous perennial, are closely related to other popular garden flowers such as the aster, cosmos, daisy, dahlia, marigold, sunflower, and zinnia. They are also known as hardy garden mums or simply mums. To grow chrysanthemums, learn about different varieties, colors, shapes, and sizes, and how to care for them in different climates.
Chrysanthemums can be grown in moist but well-drained soil with added compost or well-rotted manure in a sunny, sheltered spot. Pinch out spray chrysanthemums and “disbud” single-bloom chrysanthemums, which require staking. Lift in autumn, cut back, and store in a dry, frost-free place.
It is important to keep your plants in an area of your yard that gets a minimum of six hours of full sunlight, with morning light being the best option. To plant, dig in a bucketful per sq m (sq yd) of well-rotted organic matter, such as garden compost, before planting. To get big, bushy plants full of blooms, pinch or cut back the plant.
To help the flower stems, buy in chrysanthemums as cuttings or small plants, root your cuttings, plant out your mums, grow out your mums, and keep your mums in a sunny, well-drained location with at least a half-day of sunshine. Add leafmold, peatmoss, compost, or cow manure to the soil when planting.
In summary, growing chrysanthemums is a rewarding and rewarding experience that requires knowledge of various plant varieties, care, and propagation methods. By following these tips, you can ensure that your chrysanthemums thrive in your garden or indoors.
