how farmers grow crysanthemum
Answers
The ancient Greeks combined the words chrysos (golden) and anthemon (flower) to create the name Chrysanthemum. Most people simply call them “mums,” which works just as well because today we have many colorful varieties of this wildly popular plant. The hardest part about growing Chrysanthemums is deciding which type you want in your garden. Most mums bloom from late summer to fall, but depending on your climate and the variety of mum, they can bloom from April until November. Mums can be started as seeds, from cuttings and dividing, or can be purchased at a nursery in sizes from bedding plants up to gallon size and larger plants. They should be planted into well prepared, fertile, sandy soil. Mums resent 'wet feet' so the hole should be dug extra deep.
