Here is my post for the Alphabet challenge for Friday. I love these chrysanthemums. They have been with me for years and are ready to bloom again this year.
I hardly have to do much to care for these plants. I trim them after the finish blooming and give them some compost from the bin. I only look at them the next flowering season, I cut them back and give them a good feeding and they bloom in abundance. I propagate them mostly by cutting . When I re-pot them I divide the plants.

Chrysanthemums are beautiful flowers. I have some in the garden.
They are indeed beautiful flowers in such variety of colors.
Chrysanthemums are grown here solely for the purpose of bringing them to the cemetery on the feast day
I have heard this earlier. We used to have a similar traditions but that was more with white and yellow ones. The other colors are quite popular in garden.
Mums are so pretty. I love the burgundy ones in the fall.
Burgundy is quite popular here as well.
What I have come to believe is that where I live weather is not conducive to many flowers and yet I manage to have colour in my garden. I have had several Mums but I need to repot them unlike in your case and if I miss to do it they vanish
My friend says that too. But I have had no troubles with mums.
