Growing Information

Start the bare root plant in a pot no larger than 6 inches and keep it shaded for the first two days. If the plant grows taller than 10 inches by July 1, cut it back to 4-6 inches to encourage healthy growth. Pinching the tips before August promotes branching and larger flowers. Disbudding to the terminal bud can also enhance flower size. This chrysanthemum is well-suited for fall gardens and provides colorful blooms during the cooler months.
