Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum Carinatum Rainbow Mix) - You will want to start these Chrysanthemum Carinatum seeds and attract attention to your garden! The Chrysanthemum Rainbow Mix offers colors of purple, orange, scarlet, rose, salmon, yellow and white and puts on a dazzling display of color. Painted Daisies also make great cut flowers so that you can bring the color indoors! Some flower seeds can be difficult to germinate; however, this is not the case with Chrysanthemum flower seed. Grow Chrysanthemum Carinatum plants in a rich, well-drained, evenly moist soil and in full sun. Good drainage during the winter is essential.
For areas with short growing seasons, start the Painted Daisy seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before the end of frost season. Lightly press the flower seeds into starter mix and keep seeds moist but not saturated. Transplant seedlings outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Or, for warmer climates, sow the Chrysanthemum seeds directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed once frost season is over. Lightly cover the flower seeds with soil and keep the seeds moist until germination occurs. Pinch back young daisy plants to keep them bushy. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming.
Common Questions
Can chrysanthemum be used for cut flowers?
Yes, they make great cut flowers. Be sure to check out our guide on Cut flower Gardens.
Do chrysanthemums attract pollinators?
Yes, butterflies are attracted to chrysanthemums.
Can I plant these in containers?
Annual varieties are typically compact and suitable for containers. Keep in mind that they may not bloom until later in the season, so pair them with plants that bloom in summer or relocate them to a more visible spot later on.
Do I have to pinch chrysanthemums?
By pinching mums when they reach around 6 inches tall until early July, you can encourage bushier plants with an abundance of blooms in the fall.
Why aren’t my chrysanthemums blooming?
Chrysanthemums wait to bloom until the days start getting shorter in late summer. They require full sun to bloom and may not flower if they have been over-fertilized with a high nitrogen fertilizer.
Why didn’t my painted daisies bloom?
Painted daisies bloom the second year after sowing the seed.
