Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your chrysanthemum plants live is straightforward, ensuring a vibrant display of color in your garden. These robust plants thrive with proper attention to their basic needs. For optimal growth and blooming, plant your new mixed mums plants in a location that receives full sun, meaning at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Adequate sunlight is crucial for prolific flowering and strong, healthy growth. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent scorching, but generally, more sun equals more blooms.

When it comes to watering, chrysanthemums prefer consistently moist soil, especially during dry spells and their blooming period. Water deeply at the base of the plant, avoiding overhead watering which can encourage fungal diseases. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but do not let the plants completely dry out. Well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot; a rich, loamy soil with good organic content is ideal. These hardy chrysanthemum varieties are suitable for USDA Zones 5-9, making them adaptable to a wide range of climates. Fertilize your plants with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season until buds begin to show. Pinching back the young stems in late spring or early summer can encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Watch out for common pests like aphids and spider mites, treating them with insecticidal soap if necessary, to keep your perennial mums thriving.
