Start the seeds indoors six to eight weeks prior to the last frost date.
Sow chrysanthemum seeds thinly and barely press in. Do not cover with soil as light aids germination.
Keep the soil moist at 70-75 degrees F.
Seedlings emerge in 10-21 days.
Transfer to the garden when the chrysanthemum seedlings are 6 to 8 inches tall.
To get started, you’ll need:
Chrysanthemum seeds
Seed-starting trays or small pots
High-quality seed-starting mix
A spray bottle for watering
Grow lights or a sunny windowsill
Plastic wrap or a humidity dome (optional)
This seed comes as a pellet.
Pelleted seeds are small seeds that have been clay-coated to make them larger and more uniform in size and shape, making them easier to handle when planting.
