Product Description

This is the ultimate chrysanthemum collection – 24 of the biggest and best varieties guaranteed to make a massive impact in your garden!

Chrysanthemums are a much loved, classic cottage garden favourite, due to their beautiful clusters of ball-shaped flowers. Nothing heralds the arrival of autumn in the garden than a garden flushed with their gorgeous blooms.
‘Spray’ and ‘Bloom’ Chrysanthemums are the beautiful classic old-fashioned types, with glorious 8-10 inch blooms in a mix of orange, pink, yellow and purple. Planted in a mixture these will create simply stunning features!

Chrysanthemums have a long flowering period, so you can enjoy their huge, impressive displays all summer long, typically from the end of July through to December.

Often used to create impact in florist’s bouquets where they come at a price, this collection is incredible value for money and you’ll be able to cut them from your own garden and create your very own unique displays in vases indoors.

These are hardy, shrubby perennials that will return every year to delight with their showy blooms.   They are so easy to care for and they thrive when well-watered but require very little pruning. They produce their tight, balls of colour naturally, and don’t need any help achieving or maintaining this shape.

Plant Information

Top Tips

Pinching Out or Disbudding Chrysanthemums

As soon as plants reach around 6-8in in late May or early June, pinch out the top growth, taking it down to three or four leaves up from the base of the plant. This promotes the formation of side shoots and you'll create a bushier, more floriferous plant.

If you want one large flower per stem, you will need to disbud the plants. As they grow, remove all the side shoots to create one strong stem which will produce one flower.

Staking

Chrysanthemums tend to snap at the base of the stems, so staking is really important. The stakes should be tall enough to accommodate the plant, but short enough for the flowers to be above of it; check the height of the varieties you have purchased.

 

Care Guide

  • For most jumbo plug plant collections, the “mini Greenhouse” they are packed in will have a label on the outside, listing the individual varieties inside. We recommend writing your own labels out on receipt!
  • Give your plugs a little attention on arrival - unpack them immediately, and either mist them or stand them in water for an hour - they may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
  • If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
    We recommend that you leave them to settle for a day somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • When you're ready to pot on, use a good quality, multi-purpose compost, and fill 3-4in pots (7-10cm).
  • Make a hole in the compost with a dibber or your finger, then holding each plug by its root ball, place it into the hole and gently firm the compost around it.
  • For great results, we recommend using our Windowsill Planters or 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays.
    Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry as they don’t like to be left in standing water.
  • Grow on either on a bright windowsill or a greenhouse for 3-4 weeks before potting up into containers or into flower beds.
