FAQ about Chrysanthemum – White

What kind of soil suits chrysanthemums best?
Chrysanthemums grow best in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. They are sensitive to standing water, which causes root rot, so dig in compost to improve the structure and drainage.
How often should chrysanthemums be watered?
Keep the soil evenly moist but not wet, especially in dry spells and while they are flowering. Water when the top few centimetres feel dry, ideally in the morning and at the base, to reduce the risk of fungal disease.
When and how should chrysanthemums be pruned?
Pinch out the growing tips when the plant is about 15 cm tall to encourage bushy growth, and repeat a couple of times until early summer. Deadhead during flowering. After the first frost, cut garden chrysanthemums down to about 10 cm.
Which pests and diseases affect chrysanthemums?
Aphids, red spider mite and thrips are common pests, while powdery mildew, rust and leaf spot are the most common diseases. Good air circulation, watering at the roots and regular checks prevent most problems.
How do chrysanthemums overwinter?
Hardy garden chrysanthemums can usually stay outdoors in well-drained soil with a mulch of leaves over the roots. In cold, exposed gardens or heavy, wet soil, lift the clump after the first frost, cut back the stems and keep it frost-free in a cool place until spring. Potted florist's chrysanthemums are usually grown for a single season.
