Similar to dahlias, chrysanthemum flowers appear in many different shapes and colors. There are large and small flowers, simple, semi-double or double. Some varieties bloom like pompoms, others have spider- or anemone-shaped flowers. But no matter how the individual flowers are structured, they all have one thing in common: they only appear in late summer or even in autumn, when other flowers have long since faded.
When is the flowering time of the chrysanthemum?
The flowering time of the chrysanthemum varies depending on the type and variety: Some varieties bloom from August, others only in September or October. As a rule, however, chrysanthemums bloom for a very long time, sometimes until November, and thus bring color into autumn.
Chrysanthemums have a long flowering period
However, the specific flowering time depends on the type and variety of chrysanthemum. Some varieties bloom comparatively early, starting in August, while others only open their buds in September or even October. However, all chrysanthemums bloom for a very long time - sometimes for months until well into November - and in this way provide a few splashes of color in the dreary autumn. However, the wild forms of the chrysanthemum are all early flowering.
Tips & Tricks
You can extend the flowering period of the chrysanthemum bushes by cutting off any dead flowers immediately. However, be careful not to cut too deeply - the fresh flower buds are located directly under the old flower.
