How to Grow:
Direct sow seeds outdoors between mid to late May at a depth of 3 mm. For an earlier start, begin indoors 6–8 weeks before planting. Use a peat-based, soil-less medium and maintain temperatures between 16–21°C for germination within 10–14 days. Expose seedlings to cycling light (12 hours on, 12 hours off). Transplant outdoors in late May, spacing plants 30 cm apart. Pinch back young plants (10–15 cm tall) to encourage fuller blooms.
These chrysanthemums thrive in full sun but will also do well in lightly shaded areas. A must-have for cut flower displays and attracting pollinators to your garden!
