Divide Chrysanthemums In Spring When New Growth Appears
If you have Chrysanthemums in your flower garden that need to be divided, do so in the spring as soon as the new growth appears.
Lift the Chrysanthemums out of the soil, divide by gently pulling the new shoots apart and replant immediately. Replant at the new shoots at the same soil depth from which they were dug up.
Each new Chrysanthemum shoot that has it’s own roots will develop into a new plant and produce late summer blooms the first year it is divided and transplanted.
When Chrysanthemums grow to be about 4 inches tall, pinch out the tops so the side branches of the plant will bush out and produce more blooms.
