Overview
Chrysanthemums are a classic choice for adding vibrant colour to the garden as summer gives way to autumn. These compact plants produce an abundance of daisy-like or fully double blooms in a wide range of colours, making them ideal for refreshing containers, patio displays and borders when many other plants are beginning to fade. As this product is sold as a mixed selection, flower colour and flower form will vary.

Growing Guide
Place in a warm, sheltered position with plenty of sunshine for the best display. Grow in fertile, well-drained soil or quality compost, keeping the compost evenly moist without becoming waterlogged. Regular deadheading helps maintain a tidy appearance and encourages more flowers to open throughout the season.
If planting into the garden, choose a sheltered location with good drainage. Container-grown plants should be watered whenever the compost begins to dry at the surface. In colder parts of Ireland, plants may need winter protection if you intend to keep them beyond the flowering season.
Why We Love It
A flowering chrysanthemum provides instant impact for autumn displays. Its compact habit makes it easy to add colour to doorsteps, patios, balconies and mixed seasonal containers, while the long-lasting blooms also make attractive cut flowers for indoor arrangements.
