Vista Chrysanthemum Brown-eyes-mum-button-mum Seed  (20 per packet)

Chrysanthemums are generally not limited to any particular season. Chrysanthemum plants can be grown in any kind of soil but there are some special requirements too. Growing Tips: Soil: A fertile and well-drained soil is the prime requisite for this plant. One may opt for the sandy or loamy soil with a pH of 6.5 to grow chrysanthemums. Light: A bright sun is what the chrysanthemums want. Or at least 5-6 hours of continuous sunny weather is important for good growth. Placement: These flowering plants are susceptible to mildew and thus the plant must be kept in a dry place. Proper circulation of air, water drainage, and morning sun are thus necessary to keep the leaves or stems dry. Fertilization: A light and frequent fertilizing will provide a better growth although this plant doesn’t require fertilization much. Water: A consistent watering all through the months of Spring, Summer, and Fall is necessary. The best way to water the chrysanthemums is to apply water directly to the base of the plants. This method prevents moisture from becoming trapped in the thick foliage. Care Tips: One must always use clean containers and tools.For the cut flower arrangements, one should remove the wrap, recut the stems, and remove the foliage before placing it in water.One must remember that Chrysanthemums are extremely sensitive to draughts and direct heat. Therefore, the placement of these flowers is important.Chrysanthemums must not be kept next to fruits and vegetables that are ripening. Because the ethylene produced by the fruits and vegetables will kill these flowers early.One must not forget to change the water in the vase and the required amount of flower food.
