Chrysanthemum 'Bumper Mix'

Perfect for your borders and patio containers. This is a fabulous collection - three different types of crysanthemums that give a huge burst of colour in the garden ... and the flowers are ideal for cutting and enjoying indoors as well! The best of both worlds. Our selection of Hardy Patio, Incurved and Decorative will give you a great show - and even better is that they are all hardy so they’ll come back year after year. Sent to you as jumbo plugs, easy to grow. Plant out in the garden by July so they can get their roots down deep into the earth. As for all our plants there is lots of growing advice on our website - we are always happy to pass on our ‘tips of the trade’ as we want you to have the very best displays.

Pot up plugs and grow them on in warm frost free conditions. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise chrysanthemums to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days. Transplant into containers in full sun, or in well drained soil in sunny borders. Feed and water regularly.
Decorative and incurving chrysanthemum plants benefit from 'disbudding' to produce larger flowers. Remove all buds and side shoots except for the central bud on each main stem. Spray chrysanthemums can be allowed to develop naturally. However Pinching out the top 5cm when stems reach a height of 15 cm will produce a bushier plant with more flowers. Repeat with every consecutive 15cm of growth until the plant forms flower buds. Support flower stems with stakes to prevent them snapping.
We will do our best to ship your plants or bulbs to you at the ideal time for planting as stated against each product. We recommend that you prepare your soil, planting beds or patio containers ahead of time so you are ready to plant out, or pot on, just as soon as your order arrives. You will find the name of the variety printed on the top line of the address label on your package. Please ensure that you open the packaging immediately and carefully read through the instruction leaflet provided. For greatest success, please pot on or plant out as soon as possible, following the cultural instructions enclosed with your order.
