The chrysanthemums are the flower of the month for November and are one of the easiest flowers to plant and grow! These beautiful flowers come in over 30 different varieties, both perennials and annuals, making them perfect to plant year round. Not only are they beautiful, but chrysanthemums carry with them powerful meaning, such as love, trust and loyalty.

Tips for Caring for Chrysanthemums

There are over 30 different species of chrysanthemums, and these flowers come in both perennials and annuals. Make sure you choose the proper bulbs for the season you are gardening. The annual type of mum which blooms in late summer into fall is the easiest to grow and care for, making this type of flower a good choice for beginning gardeners.

Chrysanthemums grow the easiest and produce the fullest flowers if they are planted in ample amounts of sunshine. They respond to plenty of food and moisture. A rich and well-drained soil with good air circulation is crucial for growing healthy chrysanthemums.

Once the flower has started to bloom, be sure to remove wilted leaves as they appear on the flower. This will ensure the nutrients go to the healthiest part of the mum. To maintain healthy chrysanthemums year round, cover the flower with three inches of mulch after each blooming season.
