How to Grow Garland Round Leaf Chrysanthemum Greens
Sow seeds in the late spring after the last frost or late summer/early fall. Will tolerate light shade in the summer and will flower in warm temperatures. Keep soil moist and fertilize as needed. They are not picky about soil quality or fertilization. Although, they lush out better if given ideal conditions. Chrysanthemum greens like moisture but do not do well in overly wet conditions. Successive sowing can be done every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to keep stock up if desired. Pinch off the top 2 inches of each plant to encourage branching.
