Hi, Alexandra. I have had a pale pink chrysanthemum called Sheffield Pink for about 15 years. It has slowly spread and has bloomed for the past month in zone 6b in Rhode Island. It is covered in blossom attracting many types of pollinators and makes a magnificent sight on a slope near the sidewalk where many walking by stop to admire it. Thank you for bringing attention to this beautiful plant.

My favorite garden month is October, so I add asters and a couple of hardy/heirloom chrysanthemums every year. My very first one was Clara Curtis (Country Girls), and it is a spreader, but such beautiful pink blooms in the fall! I find that some are more vigorous spreaders than others. I usually cut my chrysanthemums and asters back at least twice by about a third, but not after mid-July. I am adding a few you've shown to my want list, but I wonder if they're available under different names in the USA. I also love the mounding ones sold in garden centers in Fall and have been successful in having those come back for second and sometimes third years. Zone 7B, North MS. I watch your channel weekly.

That's a good tip about cutting them back more than once. I suspect the different varieties do have their equivalents in the USA, although I don't actually know the US plant companies.

I LOVE MUMS! My son bought me a beautiful pot of purple/pink flowers for my birthday in May, which I planted in my garden. The blooms died off but in the fall I had the most spectacular plant with the most beautiful flowers. I was so sad when they didn't grow back this year, but now I suspect it's because I cut back to the ground, instead of cutting back to 6 inches and mulching. However, the other mums, purchased for a fall display appeared this fall beautiful yellow and white flowers. Great video about a fav of mine- MUMS!!!

In Australia, where I was born, they come out in May around Mother's Day! Mum always warned us never to give her those as flowers for that special day.

Another timely video. Chrysanthemums aren't something I would plant for fragrance, but they are showy and don't require much work. My plants are in pots; one has very small dark red blossoms, and the other is the larger Chinese type with curled petals in medium purple. The red is low growing, and has bloomed since late July. I snipped off the dead flowers, and it's now in a second bloom. The purple one only blooms in late fall, and is leggy if not trimmed back and staked in early spring. That plant has lived in the same pot for over 10 years. I water them once a week unless we have a heat wave, and give them a bit of fish emulsion if I think about it. We don't go below 25F/-4C. Exciting week here in Southern California; it rained all day Tuesday, for the first time since early April. I have 30 containers of rain water from under the drip lines of our roof, ready to go into the big barrels for storage. I loved seeing all the varieties of "mums". :)

I've got Chrysanthemum 'Jessie Cooper' (incredible single neon pink and yellow flower), which (in London, at least) seems to flower from October to December no matter the weather- they look wonderfully summery even as the rest of my border is going over. I have found that the petals of the flowers seem to be a bit of a slug magnet- may just be this cultivar, but I might suggest slug protection :)
