We are just starting the time of year for Chrysanthemum show , and although you may poo poo those dim , potted nonmeaningful mums grow in fibre pots and touch on baskets at the farm stand or associate mummy as funeral flowers or garish , makeweight flowers well exit for supermarket purchase , think again – the florists' chrysanthemum is making a comeback , and it ’s begin at your local botanic garden . The chrysanthemum has a long , long , farseeing – even ancient history with human culture – they have been cultivated and careful displayed with perfection for more than 2000 years . They are the misplace art pieces , or objet d’art and have captivated human , helping them celebrate the seasonal shift into autumn since , well , since before Christ . Even though I believe the mum call for to be rediscover by more masses , I agree that they also require a makeover – a good agent and perhaps a major re stigmatization .
If you are take care into growing chrysanthemums , they are not that sluttish to find oneself . These expo types must be grown from cutting off , and there are only a couple of sources on - job . I get mine from Kings Mums , but there are other lieu which will require some in depth Google searching to find . These are not the same mama as those establish at potted plants , or at farm standstill , for these are not completely brave ( not that most farm stand mamma are hardy either , even though they are sold as ‘ dauntless mums ’ . Here in New England , few mums are truly hardy through a hard wintertime . Exhibition mums are easygoing to grow , and even to winter over , they just need to be rear in the late autumn , and protected a chip more – placed in a box in a cool shed , or cellar . These ‘ faecal matter ’ are often stored under benches in a cool nursery in my vitrine , and they send out new growth in the spring , which make good cutting fabric . That said , it is easy to by newfangled rout cuttings in the saltation from on - line of work retailer since they only be a couple of dollars per cutting . This is by far the best way to grow these sort of mums .
In Taiwan , China , Japan and Korea , Chrysanthemum Exhibitions are still very popular , but these cultures have a thick connective with the industrial plant , something Americans and Europeans never will have .
