Frequently asked questions(5)
Plant seedlings in open soil after the last frost (May), or plant rooted cuttings in late summer for fall blooms. Sow seeds for seedlings in March-April.
Chrysanthemums prefer full sun (minimum 6-8 hours per day), well-draining fertile soil, and protection from strong winds. They are undemanding plants.
In regions with cold winters (below -10°C), perennial chrysanthemums need mulch protection (10-15 cm) or special covering. In warmer regions they can winter without protection.
Causes: insufficient light, excess nitrogen fertilizer (promotes foliage), late planting, overcrowded plants. Blooming requires short days (fall), full sun, and moderate nitrogen feeding.
Regularly deadhead spent flowers, feed with potassium-phosphate fertilizer, maintain soil moisture, and protect from first frosts. Proper pruning in June increases flower production.
