A NOTE ON
GROWING
CHRYSANTHEUMS
-

56/66
Growing ChrysanthemumChrysanthemums grow best and produce the most
flowers if they are planted in full sunshine. They respond
to plenty of food and moisture.
There are hundreds of varieties of Chrysanthemums,
giving you a multitude of options for height, color, flower
size and time of bloom. You can pick and choose to fit
your wants and needs when you visit the nursery.

In northern climates it is wise to purchase the earlier
bloomers.Mums can be started as seeds, from cuttings and
dividing, or can be purchased at a nursery in sizes from
bedding plants up to gallon size and larger plants.
They should be planted into well prepared, fertile, sandy
soil. Mums resent 'wet feet' so the hole should be dug
extra deep.

It is recommend that you do not grow your mums in the
same spot for more than three consecutive years to help
prevent associated disease and pest problems. Theplants should be spaced 18-30 inches apart for best
results.
Feed lightly every 2 weeks with a good balanced allpurpose fertilizer. When the plants are 6 inches tall,
pinch about 3/4 of an inch from each branch to promote
more blooms and bushier plants. When they reach a foot
tall, pinch them again.

On the largest flowering types it is best to remove all
buds except for the one on top.
Dividing and Transplanting Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums should be divided every three to five
years to avoid overcrowding and promote maximumflowering. They should be divided in the spring when
new growth appears. Dig entire clumps and separate the
plants with a sharp, clean knife or spade. Remove all
dead and diseased plant parts.
-
7/26/2019 Chrysanthemum Day 2014 at Mrs. Shail Dhingra's garden 2014
60/66
Replant the divisions as soon as possible in a loose, well
drained, rich organic soil. Chrysanthemums should
periodically be moved to a new location, but if this is notfeasible, the soil should be sterilized chemically to
reduce danger of disease and insect problems.
Young divisions will grow much faster and provide abetter plant than crowded old clumps. When the new
shoots are 1-3 inches tall in early spring, dig up your old
clumps and carefully pull them apart. plant the healthy
divisions into newly prepared fertile soil and discard the
half dead woody parts.

Propagating Chrysanthemums and Growing Them from
Seed Remove the lower half of the leaves from a 4-6inch healthy, fresh cutting using a sharp clean knife!
Dip about 3/4 inch of the cut end into a rooting hormone.
Insert the cutting about one inch deep into sterile moistsand, vermiculite or sphagnum moss. Create a mini-
greenhouse over the container with poly film over a wire
frame and place it in a bright spot (NOT full sun) until the
roots form.

Chrysanthemum seeds should be sown into the
prepared soil where they are to bloom at least 2 months
prior to the first frost. Seeds may also be started
indoors in very early spring for later transplanting into
the garden.
Caring for Mums in the Winter
After your plants have been killed back by hard frost, cut
them back to the ground and provide a light airy mulch
of evergreen branches or similar material. The mostdangerous hazards for Chrysanthemums in the winter
are constant wetness or ice on the leaves.

Frost heaving caused by alternate freezing and thawing
of the soil can also a major problem. To help with these
problems and keep the plants somewhat protected and
dry, you can mound the soil up around each plant, as
well as creating a simple drainage ditch alongside.
To help avoid the heaving try to keep the plants
somewhat shaded and insulate their roots with a light
airy mulch.
Over-wintering Chrysanthemums in Pots.
Once the flowers fade, move the Mum plants to a

cool but well-lighted location. Remove any foil or
other covering from the pot at this time. Be sure to
keep your plants watered, but don't over water them.When the potting soil dries to a depth of two to three
inches, water them well so that water runs out the
hole in the bottom of the pot.
By keeping the plant in a cool, brightly lighted
location, you can keep the plants alive until the worst
of the winter is past and you can plant it outdoors. If
there is no new growth, it can be planted while thefreezing temperatures are expected at night.

If new growth is present, wait until frost is past to plant
outside. Gradually acclimatize the plants as you bring
them to life in the spring. Place them in a protected part
of the garden, with partial shade, during the day, and in
your coolest room at night.
As the temperatures moderate, so there is less variance
between day and night temperatures, you can leave
them out.
