Many people are asking for details to have good success with their recent orders. Here is a detailed summary of how I prepare and plant up my chrysanthemum. The white granules is 0-45-0 super triple phosphate is about a tablespoon per plant, the holes are 6” deep, the rooted cutting I send was potted into a 4” pot and the roots are fully developed. Dig hole, add phosphate, stir, add an inch of soil over the phosphate, then add plant, add a tablespoon of slow release fertilizer, backfill, tag, water. I will also add 3 bamboo stakes around the plants, because I’ll need them in a few weeks to tie the plants to, the holes are 18 inches off centered. The white granules around the plants is crushed eggshells to add calcium and to deter slugs or snails. I also add a systemic insecticide to help guard against aphids, I use Spinosad for control of earwigs, and will start foliar feeding at 1/2 strength each week when growth starts readily. Happy planting!

For the 2027 season, this white one has a purple picotee edge, very unusual for a chrysanthemum, it is VESSEL OF SPRING. The red one is RED PAGODA which looks to be a cross of a reflex on the lower half and a quill on the top. Very unusual. Someone (not me) has certainly been busy with crossing cultivars.
