Chrysanthemum Mairehau Dainty 1.5L

Petite and eye catching, two toned pink pompom blooms, just 2-3 cm in diameter, produced in sprays throughout summer.

Summer flowering.

Chrysanthemum plants are tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions and can also be grown in pots, avoid very poorly drained soil.

Chrysanthemums will be largely dormant over winter with little growth of shoots until spring.

Plants prefer full sun, some protection from wind is recommended, especially taller growing varieties which will also require staking.

Apply general purpose fertiliser in spring and again pre-flowering in late summer. Protect from slugs and snails during wet weather as young plants are particularly prone to attack. General garden sprays can be used for insect pests such as aphids which may appear in spring, avoid spaying the tops of the plants once the flower buds have formed.
