I will have red, yellow, white/w/yellow centers and purple/w/yellow centers. Also a bunch of French Dwarf Marigold.
Great for the Fall garden.

harvesting chrysanthemum seeds today!!
Don't need any seeds but answer to a question. I was told to pinch the buds off in the spring and they would bloom in the fall. I did that last year and they bloomed in the fall. The buds haven't formed as yet ever though the plants are big and healthy. My thinking was that the delay in pinching back would only be for that season. Any thoghts or advise. Jim
Jim,
I have also heard that if you pinch the buds off in the spring that you would have larger blooms in the fall. My honest experience is that it really doesn't make a difference. I let them bloom in the spring/early summer, completely deadhead them and they rebloom again in late Sept.- early Oct. Then I cut them all the way back in Dec.-Jan. Hope this helps you a little. I think you will be okay come fall.

Hi Jerri,
I would love some Chrysthemum seeds, if you have them to share. I don't have seeds to share now, but I will have Flashing Lights Dianthus and hopefully others in the Fall. Are you looking for anything in particular?
