Woolmans Chrysanthemum Garden Hardy Flower Plant Collection

Plant hardy chrysanthemums in late spring once the risk of frost has passed.

• Position: Full sun for best flowering
• Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil is essential
• Avoid: Waterlogged areas (can cause winter root rot)

Good drainage is the key to ensuring plants survive winter and return the following year.

To encourage a fuller, more floriferous plant, use the pinching technique:

• When plants reach around 20cm tall, pinch out the growing tip
• This encourages side shoots and a bushier shape
• Results in more stems and a higher number of flowers

Regular watering and feeding during the growing season will also improve flowering performance.

Yes—these varieties are bred to be winter hardy when planted correctly.

To overwinter successfully:

• Ensure soil is well-drained (most important factor)
• Leave the top growth in place over winter for protection
• Apply a light mulch in colder regions
• Cut back in spring when new growth appears
  

Unlike indoor chrysanthemums, these garden varieties are designed to survive outdoors and return each year with proper care.
