How to Create a Chrysanthemum Garden: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating a Chrysanthemum garden is a rewarding endeavor that brings vibrant colors and a touch of elegance to any outdoor space. Chrysanthemums, often referred to as mums, are beloved for their striking blooms and long-lasting beauty. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through each step to help you cultivate a stunning Chrysanthemum garden that will be the envy of your neighborhood.

Understanding Chrysanthemums

Types of Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. The two main types are garden hardy mums and exhibition mums. Garden hardy mums are robust and can withstand varying weather conditions, making them perfect for outdoor gardens. Exhibition mums, on the other hand, are often grown for shows and require more meticulous care.

Choosing the Right Variety

Selecting the right variety for your garden is crucial. Consider factors such as bloom time, color, and height. Popular varieties include the Chrysanthemum morifolium, known for its large, showy flowers, and the Chrysanthemum indicum, which offers smaller, yet equally beautiful blooms.

Planning Your Chrysanthemum Garden

Location and Soil

Chrysanthemums thrive in locations that receive full sunlight for at least six hours a day. Choose a well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.5 and 7.0. If your soil is heavy clay or sandy, amend it with organic matter to improve its texture and fertility.

Garden Design

Designing your Chrysanthemum garden involves thoughtful planning. Consider incorporating mums into existing flower beds, creating dedicated mum borders, or planting them in containers for added flexibility. Ensure adequate space between plants to promote air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.

Planting Chrysanthemums

When to Plant

The best time to plant Chrysanthemums is in the spring after the last frost has passed. This allows the plants to establish strong root systems before the blooming season in fall.

How to Plant

Prepare the Soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of 12-15 inches and mix in compost or well-rotted manure.

Dig Holes: Dig holes that are slightly larger than the root balls of your Chrysanthemum plants.

Planting: Place each plant in a hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil and gently firm it around the base of the plant.

Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets.

Caring for Your Chrysanthemum Garden

Watering

Chrysanthemums require consistent moisture to thrive. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Mulching around the plants can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Feeding

Feed your Chrysanthemums with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. A fertilizer high in phosphorus will promote healthy root development and abundant blooms.

Pruning and Pinching

Pinching is essential for promoting bushier growth and more flowers. Pinch back the tips of each stem when the plants are 6-8 inches tall, and repeat the process when the new growth reaches 6 inches. Stop pinching by mid-July to allow flower buds to form.

Staking

Some taller varieties of Chrysanthemums may require staking to support their blooms. Use bamboo stakes or plant supports and tie the stems loosely to prevent damage.

Pest and Disease Management

Common Pests

Chrysanthemums can be affected by pests such as aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Inspect your plants regularly and use insecticidal soap or neem oil to control infestations. Introducing beneficial insects like ladybugs can also help keep pest populations in check.

Disease Prevention

Chrysanthemums are susceptible to diseases like powdery mildew and botrytis blight. To prevent these issues, ensure proper spacing for air circulation, avoid overhead watering, and remove any infected plant material promptly. Applying a fungicide as a preventive measure can also be beneficial.

Extending the Bloom Season

Deadheading

Regular deadheading, or removing spent blooms, encourages the plant to produce more flowers and extends the blooming period. Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to snip off faded flowers just above a set of leaves.

Overwintering

In colder climates, Chrysanthemums need protection to survive the winter. After the first hard frost, cut back the plants to 6 inches above the ground and mulch heavily with straw or leaves. In regions with milder winters, apply a light mulch to protect the roots.

Propagating Chrysanthemums

Division

One of the easiest ways to propagate Chrysanthemums is through division. In early spring, dig up the plants and gently separate the clumps into smaller sections, each with a healthy root system. Replant the divisions immediately to ensure their success.

Cuttings

Taking cuttings is another effective propagation method. In late spring or early summer, cut 4-6 inch sections from healthy, non-flowering shoots. Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut ends in rooting hormone before planting them in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in indirect sunlight until they develop roots.

Conclusion

Creating a Chrysanthemum garden is a delightful and fulfilling project. With careful planning, proper planting, and diligent care, you can enjoy a spectacular display of Chrysanthemums that will brighten your garden year after year. Whether you are a novice gardener or an experienced horticulturist, following these steps will help you achieve a thriving Chrysanthemum garden.

Pre-Folie Release Madness of (p)2- A Timeline

After spending a few days in cuckoo bananas world thanks to the video re: Patrick's best man speech, @grandtreeangel and I have some things to slide across the table.

Between October 19, 2008 and November 7th, 2008, FOB played a series of shows leading up to the release of Folie a Deux. Each show featured a Pete/Patrick banter moment that, when put together, creates a very...interesting narrative.

October 19th - Birmingham, England show

Pete making a Top Gun reference to the $20 bar bet scene while Patrick plays the Top Gun theme song.

The scene in question: "Total carnal knowledge...of a woman this time, on the premises"

October 22nd - London, England show

First live performance of Patrick's "Love Lockdown" cover

Please see @grandtreeangel’s post HERE for more context on this totally normal thing Patrick did.

October 25th - Lille, France show

OG "my little cabbage" moment Pete, in French, says to Patrick, "You are beautiful, my little cabbage."

October 27th OR 28th - Blog post

Pete posts this on his Tumblr . It says 10/27, but there's some disagreement on time zones so it may be 10/28. EITHER WAY...

Originally, this linked to a clip from the movie Love, Actually. In this scene, a man confesses his love to a woman who is married to his best friend.

There's plenty of debate about this movie, scene, and storyline in general, but we aren't here for that right now!!!

Let's just focus on the facts:

Woman. Married. To BEST FRIEND.

The man was the best man AND the videographer at the wedding.

This whole moment is done secretly. He confesses, they kiss, she goes back inside and tells her husband it was just some carolers.

In general, this whole story arc is ripe with longing and unattainable love due to a marriage keeping the man from being with the woman.

I...wonder what this sounds like...

October 28th - Toronto, Canada show

Love Lockdown cover where Patrick says, "That's for you, Pete."

Again, Patrick being very normal!!!

October 29th - Blog Post

Pete contributes an entry to Bill's "Mondayeyes" poetry club on friendsorenemies.com:

Credit to @alphadog's post for this HERE

The entire poem is quite impactful, but a few lines of interest:

"Where do you get off?" or more like "how"

and...

"You chose this"

When Pete uses quotes, it's noted that this indicates things that have been said to him.

There are scents and spells that keep us coming together, there are sparks that keep us forever

The art of keeping up disappearances

Also, big hello to some Rat-A-Tat lyrics

Whenever I could make the sweat roll backwards and your pulse stream in reverse

(Big thank you to @dykeandyhurley for sending this to me)

November 6th - Boston, MA show

Pete shares the story about Patrick's best man speech.

Huge props to @predoom for finding this moment!

If you haven't seen Top Gun (?!), the context here is very important:

The line "Ice, fire, or clear," is said in the scene where Goose dies.

Scene: "Ice, Fire or Clear!"

Also, it should be noted that, to Pete, he is Goose and Patrick is Maverick.

The fact that Patrick picks this quote to say to Pete...in his best man speech...at PETE'S WEDDING. A quote said when Maverick LOSES Goose.

AND...apparently no one else in the reception quite...get's it. Pete is the only one who does. That line was just for Pete. From Patrick.

Of all the lines in that movie, he picks that one, from that moment.

Then, of course...

We have "The Kids Aren't Alright."

Featuring the lyrics:

Stuck in the jet wash Bad trip I couldn't get off And maybe I bit off more than I could chew And overhead of the aqua blue

Along with Pete's annotation:

November 7th - Philadelphia, PA show

Patrick sings Lullabye.

Take a peek at this post for all of that mess.

"Well, Bronx was about to be born!"

Sure, sure. I'm not DENYING the relevance there. Just. Go look at the post, damn it. Trust me.

And then...?

Nothing. They take a break, Bronx is born, and then they play a show in Columbus, OH on December 1, 2008. This whole little back and forth ends. Folie a Deux is released on December 10th and...well...we all know what happens after that.

The Lesbian Carjackers

Above is one of the few existing photographs of a lesbian couple that committed a series of carjackings across the United States in the early 1990s. According to found diary entries and family testimonies, the couple met one summer at a Christian based summer camp and would soon begin a passionate affair. Once returning to their respective homes, the couple would exchange letters which soon turned to plotting their escape from their conservative households to the relative safety of suburban Canada.

In September of 1993, one of the women stole the first car in their collective home state of Florida. She then drove through the night to reach the other's town approximately 3 hours north. The two then began their cycle which would continue relatively unnoticed for nearly a month. According to police records of reported missing cars, the couple was in no rush in their crime, and would frequently use wallets found in stolen cars to rent expensive hotel rooms in cities out of the way from their planned destination. Police would often find missing vehicles without gas, implying the couple would simply move on once it ran out. It is believed the couple reached the Canadian border in early November of the same year.

This photo was emailed to a close friend over a year later. It is believed the two legally changed names once settled which has led to inability to track any potential whereabouts. Canada legalized same-sex marriage in 2005 which sparked new interest in the case when many claimed to have seen the couple formalizing their marriage in a government building outside of Toronto.
