KANAYA Chrysanthemum Flower Seed  (40 per packet)

1.Pick a spot outside that has access to sun 5-6 hours a day. Choose a spot in your yard that gets sunny — a little bit of shade is okay. Chrysanthemums like the morning sun, so try to place them in a spot that gets sunlight in the earlier hours of the day. 2.Ensure the soil is well-drained and fertile. Chrysanthemums don’t like being constantly wet, so make sure the soil is able to drain easily and that there’s plenty of air circulation. 3.Provide the plants with protection from the wind. Chrysanthemums like a mild climate, so if you live somewhere where it’s often windy, provide a buffer for your plants. Try spreading a layer of mulch over the soil where the chrysanthemums are planted. The mulch layer doesn't need to be incredibly thick, but it should cover all of the soil completely. You can also plant your chrysanthemums along a fence to help protect them from the wind. If you're unsure whether or not your soil is able to drain efficiently, dig a hole using a shovel that's roughly 1 foot (30 cm) deep. Fill the hole with water and see if all of the water is able to drain out in under 10 minutes. If it's not, your soil isn't well-drained. 4.Plant your mums 18–24 inches (46–61 cm) apart. If you're planting more than 1 plant, you'll need to make sure you have enough room for each plant's roots to flourish. Measure your garden or backyard using a measuring tape or yardstick so that you know where to place the chrysanthemums.
