Chrysanthemum indicum grows up to 1 m (3 ft) tall and 0. It usually blooms from August to October, producing yellow or white flowers and yellow pollen. Chrysanthemum indicum grows up to 0. It usually blooms from August to October. It must be grown outside under sunlight with moist soil. They normally have yellow or white flowers with yellow pollen.The chrysanthemum lifespan is only three to four years and while it could last longer than that, it will get more susceptible to winter damage with each passing year.Garden chrysanthemums can be annual or perennial, and hardy or half-hardy. For a reliably perennial chrysanthemum, choose a hardy variety, which will survive winter outside so you can leave it in the ground and it will come back the following year.Chrysanthemums require well-drained soil and full sunlight to grow and successfully bloom. This means generally 6 hours of sunlight or more each day during the summer period. Plants grown with less light will become weak, spindly and produce few flowers.
What is the height of chrysanthemum plant?
It is an herbaceous perennial plant which attains the height of 50-150cm. An upright deciduous, perennial species, producing stems to 60cm (2ft) high on a plant 60cm (2ft) across, with deeply divided and sweetly aromatic leaves.
Do chrysanthemums grow fast?
Chrysanthemums root very easily from cuttings, which is what a lot of people order in – you can get a giant plant in one season from one cutting. If you’re not confident in your rooting abilities, you can also order in actual plants, which will also grow readily and well over the season. Chrysanthemums have a very shallow root system. They don’t have a tap root or deep root system like many perennials, bushes and trees do. This makes them more susceptible to the harsh winter weather conditions.Most hardy chrysanthemums can survive temperatures down to at least -5ËšC (23ËšF). However, in much of the UK temperatures can fall below this, so it may be safer to lift and store plants over winter in light, frost-free conditions, such as a frost free greenhouse, a cool conservatory, porch or similar.Mums fall into two main camps: florist mums and garden mums. Florist mums are the compact, potted superstars you see at nurseries and generally do not return each year. Garden mums grow in a looser habit and reliably return year after year. Both types are part of the same species, Chrysanthemum morifolium.The best time to plant mums is late summer to early fall, ideally between late August and mid-September. This timing allows the plants to establish strong roots before the first frost, ensuring they can withstand the winter and return strong the following year.Chrysanthemums are one of the easier flowers to care for, mainly needing ample light and water. There are still a few things to keep in mind though, especially if you want to ensure that your garden mums come back year after year.
Are chrysanthemums better in pots or ground?
Chrysanthemums tend to only grow relatively short roots, which is why they’re so perfect for potting. We recommend that our young flower plants are potted into 9cm (3½in) pots using a good quality, multi-purpose, peat-free compost. Chrysanthemum plants bloom naturally from mid-August to mid-January but can be divided into three categories based on their flowering time: Earlies: Mid-August to mid-September Lates: Mid-October to Mid-January Mid-season: Those that flower in between But how exactly do these flower plants differ?Fertilizer: Chrysanthemums are heavy feeders and need to be fertilized in the spring as well as in the summer. A water-soluble fertilizer such as 20-20-20 or an organic fertilizer such as fish emulsion should be used.Chrysanthemums should be planted into well-prepared, fertile, loamy or sandy soil where they get full early morning sun, at least five to six hours daily. Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball and incorporate organic matter such as compost or peat to help with drainage.Chrysanthemums are sun-lovers and prefer well-drained moist soil. Early flowering chrysanthemums are usually planted in borders and will flower from late summer to autumn. Late-flowering chrysanthemums flower in winter and are normally grown as houseplants.
