FLOWERS IN THE GARDEN
May 2008 CHRYSANTHEMUM
DESCRIPTION:
Chrysanthemum flowers are like a giant daisy in appearance, with much taller flower stalks making them perfect for cut flowers. They come in various colours ranging from white, yellow, various shades of pink and red, the different varieties include singles, doubles and spider types. These plants have leaves that I describe as long rounded maple leaf shape, with a distinct perfume.
GROWING TIPS:
These plants grow well in most soils, but it pays to add compost or manure if growing in sandy soil. They dont like poorly drained soil or where water lies. Plant in a warm sunny position free from wind and heavy shade. Plants are easily grown from cuttings and should be tip pruned till Feburary to form a more compact bush that produces more flowers.
