I bought these last year and loved their fall color. I can't wait for them to come back this year.
Chrysanthemum is made up of both annuals and perennials and are best
known for their showy flowers. There are twelve different flowerhead
forms which distinguish the different chrysanthemums. Colors range
from yellow to red to pink to brown and bloom time ranges from
midsummer through fall. There are seven main groups of chrysanthemums:
1. Exhibition, which are perennials grown for show, garden use, and
cutting. 2. Spray, which produce multiple flowers per stem and are
grown for garden decoration and cutting. 3. Charm, which are dwarf,
bushy, and rounded in habit and are grown primarily for indoor
decoration, exhibition and bonsai. 4. Cascade, which are similar to
charm, but trained as fans, pillars, pyramids, or cascades, are grown
primarily for indoor decoration. 5. Pompon, are dwarf and bushy,
providing multiple (up to 50), dense flowers per plant. 6. Rubellum,
is a group of bushy perennials with woody base. Leaves are pinnatisect
and have a silvery cast and flowers have yellow, daisy-like centers.
They are perfect for the border and for cutting. 7. Garden
chrysanthemums have a bushy, branching habit and bear clusterd
flowerheads. Flowering over a long period, they are perfect for the
border. Chrysanthemums do best in full sun in soil that is slightly
moist, fertile, neutral to slightly acid, and well-drained. Make sure
that plants are fertilized every two weeks from midsummer until buds
begin to show color. To ensure a full flush of flowers, discontinue
pinching by July 15 in cooler climates, and July 25 in warmer
climates. At the onset of winter in really cold areas, crowns may be
lifted and stored once tops have been cut back to 6 inches. In milder
climates, cut back and mulch well. Because the centers of
chrysanthemums die out, you will want to divided the plant and replant
either in the late fall or early spring every couple of years.
