Description of types and varieties of white chrysanthemums
There are countless types and varieties of white representatives of annual or perennial Asteraceae family.
Stalion, white chrysanthemum
Some of them:
- Chamomile. These include “Snegurochka”, “Chick”, “Himalayas”. They got their name due to their resemblance to chamomile: a large yellow core and white petals.
- Korean grandiflora. These are “Swan”, “Bear”, “Poodle” and others. They look very voluminous and majestic.
- Korean multiflora. They differ in that the edges of the petals become pink when flowering: “Furor”, “White”.
- Bush varieties: “Euro”, “Coconut”, “Sky” (if you rub the core of the inflorescence at the time of flowering, it will turn lemon yellow).

In addition, the edible vegetable chrysanthemum, which is used in Chinese medicine, is widely popular among people. In Bulgaria, “Chrysanthemum” is a wonderful 4* hotel near the sea.
Bacardi
Chrysanthemum Bacardi is a very elegant delicate flower. It was first presented in 2004 at a performance by singer M. Borsato. Now Bacardi is often included in mixed bouquets of different types of flowers.

There is not only white, but also yellow, cream, red, soft pink. It blooms already in July and blooms until the end of September. With its strong green stem it remains durable for a long time.
Santini
Chrysanthemum Santini is considered a mini chrysanthemum. This is a small-flowered variety - a small and compact bush. The inflorescences are double, chamomile-shaped and spherical. Up to 30 flowers can open on one bush.
Santini variety
A very frost-resistant species, but during wintering it needs shelter.
Multiflora
Chrysanthemum Multiflora planting and care is not difficult. Now this variety is presented in almost all catalogs of famous flower companies. Multiflora can be grown both in pots and in open ground.
Note ! It is difficult for a novice gardener to choose from a huge number of “autumn queens” those that will be easy to cope with at first. Beginning flower growers should pay attention to the Sabu chrysanthemum, “Umka”, “Monomakh’s Cap” (an extraordinary color gradient will be created by planting “Monomakh” with the Lipstick chrysanthemum), “Apple Blossom” and “Grand Pink”. “Saba” will surprise you with its colors, and “Grand Pink” will withstand various temperature fluctuations.
A special feature is that the crown is naturally formed in the form of a ball. This variety was bred to decorate gardens. After the Multiflora has fully bloomed, not even foliage can be seen through the flower ball. The height of the shrub does not exceed 40 cm, however, among the varieties there are also tall specimens.
Multiflora
Plants do not need to be pruned; only pinching is recommended. The disadvantage of Multiflora is considered to be poor frost resistance; it is not easy for it to winter in European countries.
Early varieties:
- Sunbeam Coral. Has coral flowers.
- Amor Dark Pink. The flowers have a pleasant pink color and reach 4 cm in diameter.
- Meridian Dar. Juicy, colorful, burgundy flowers are small in size, up to 3 cm in diameter.

- Branchili. Pleasant, soft cream color of flowers, about 4 cm in diameter, 40 cm in height.
Multiflora spherical
The chrysanthemum Multiflora globulus should be properly cared for:
- Choose a good place for planting, where there will definitely be sunlight. In its absence, the shape of the bush will be greatly distorted. Do not plant near fences, as then there will be no uniform lighting.
- Prepare the soil. In the autumn, you should add humus and ash, then carefully dig up the area. In the spring, dig again before planting. The optimal soil composition will be peat mixed with sand and turf soil.
Multiflora spherical
Reproduction occurs with the help of:
- Semyon,
- Shoots
- Cherenkov.
Wintering in open ground
Wintering in open ground is very risky for Multiflora, but for some gardeners this process is successful. To do this, you should build a good shelter yourself.
Important ! Even before the onset of the first frost, the bushes should be covered. It is important not to do this very early, as diaper rash may appear at the roots.
There should be no holes in the soil around the bush to prevent moisture from retaining in them. When there is a thaw, the soil will receive an excessive amount of moisture, which will cause the roots to die.
Before sheltering, the bush is trimmed so that it can fit under the canopy. The frame of the shelter is made of boards on which insulation is placed. The cover is removed in March-April, after the frosts have subsided.
Multiflora in Siberia
For Siberia, Multiflora is a rarity, since it is not able to withstand temperatures below seven degrees below zero. Even if it is covered, it will die under harsh conditions.
The only way out is to use the earliest varieties, which will fade by the first frost. Then they should be placed in the shelter in October and the wintering conditions should be constantly checked: whether the soil is drying out or, conversely, waterlogged, whether there is mold or mildew.
Caring for house flowers in winter
The flower pot is placed in a pantry or cellar, where the temperature does not rise above 5 degrees. At this time, the flower is not watered abundantly and is not fed at all. It is treated with antimicrobial agents.
With the onset of spring, the plant is exposed to the air, watering is increased, if the flower needs to be replanted, it is replanted, and in April they begin to feed it. And already in September, flowers will appear on the bushes again.
There are different shades of beautiful flowers; some like pink, some yellow, and some purple bush chrysanthemums. They are all beautiful in their own way and look very elegant.

Sowing seeds for seedlings
The flower is grown in small boxes with a low side. A drainage layer of expanded clay or small brick is laid below. It is recommended to sift the soil, consisting of equal parts of earth, peat and humus, and warm it up at 1300 C. When it cools down, pour it over the drainage.
The seeds of the perennial garden chrysanthemum plant are pressed shallowly into the soil, and the seeds of the annual plant are sprinkled with 0.5 cm of substrate. Then moisten with heated water and cover with film.
Can be placed in an unlit room with a temperature of 22-250 C. Ventilate periodically and do not allow the soil to dry out.
Half a month after the seedlings have pecked, the box is placed in a lighted spot and the film is removed. The cover is not removed immediately, allowing the plants to get used to the surrounding atmosphere: the first day for an hour, then adding more time every day.

You can look at three things for an infinitely long time: fire, water and... chrysanthemums. They combine simplicity, pride, joy, and beauty. The meaning of beautiful sunny beauties is to bring inspiration during the autumn blues, to protect the beauty of the garden in winter and to look forward to spring.
Sowing seeds
By the end of spring, when the cold weather ends, depressions are made in the area, moistened with heated water and a few seeds are thrown in. Fill the planting holes with soil and cover with greenhouse film. The distance between future bushes should be kept about 25 cm.
After emergence: remove the film, loosen the soil, weed the weeds, and fertilize after 1-2 weeks. Fertilize with a weak solution of “Ideal” or “Rainbow”.
When the seedlings grow to 7-10 cm, they are thinned out - leaving one strong plant. Removed seedlings can be distributed to neighbors or planted in another place.
Diseases, pests
With dense, unkempt plant thickets, fungal diseases may appear: Powdery mildew, Verticillium wilt, Rust.
Sometimes viral diseases affect: Aspermia, Dwarfism, Mosaic. The diseases are incurable and it is better to get rid of the affected plant.
The most malicious pests: nematodes, aphids, meadow bugs, as well as snails and slugs.
To prevent such misfortunes, you need to monitor the plant, care for it, adhering to the rules, inspect the bushes, do not allow harmful insects to attack the flowers, and use only sterile instruments for dividing. Carry out prevention during replanting of bushes or after digging.
Love the plant, care for it, follow the growing rules, and the chrysanthemum will respond to you with healthy, lush blooms that will delight you for many years.
Watering, fertilizing, replanting
Water the chrysanthemum generously and regularly with settled water, ideally rainwater. By adding 1-2 drops of ammonia per liter, you will fertilize the water. It is necessary to water right up to the root without touching the leaves. Then loosen the soil and remove weeds.
The bushes are systematically fertilized - at least 3-4 times per season. During development, ammonia nitrogen is needed to enlarge and strengthen the green part. To improve flowering, feed with potassium and phosphorus when the buds appear.
The liquid substrate is poured under the root a day after watering. The first feeding is done one and a half months after planting the seedlings in an open area. Bird droppings or burnt cow manure are used as organic matter.
After 3 years, the chrysanthemum needs to be replanted. Otherwise, she will weaken and begin to hurt. This procedure is carried out simultaneously with dividing the bush.
Temporary shelter arrangement
As an option for a protection device, temporary fences can be made. Its essence is to build walls and shelter on top. The walls can be made from bricks, stones, boxes or wooden pallets.
The manufacturing process is as follows. The trimmed and processed bush is hilled and mulched with loose material (leaves, shavings, pine needles). Then temporary walls are erected around a bush or a row of plants, and the entire structure is covered with slate, boards or film on top. The main thing is to ensure ventilation of the structure to avoid damping out.
Propagation by cuttings
In the spring, when the air warms up to 20-250 C, cut cuttings from a large bush with a sterilized knife. The stems are cut from the root, not the side, a few mm above the leaf bud. The cuttings are chosen 60-70 cm long.
You can use cuttings from a bouquet in a vase. Break the side shoot with the “heel”; if there is a flower, get rid of it.
After cutting or breaking a branch, keep it in a weak solution of manganese for 15 minutes and place it in Kornevin’s solution. The cuttings from the bouquet remain in Kornevin until the roots appear. Plant cuttings from the bush in nutritious soil or perlite.
When rooting, the plant should be in a well-lit place with a temperature of 15-180C. If the conditions are met, roots will appear by the end of the month. When the roots grow 1-2 cm, for subsequent cultivation, the cuttings are transplanted to an open lawn and covered until they gain strength.
How to store?
Some do not replant chrysanthemums for the winter, but leave them in the garden, while others leave such plants in a pot. Both options are valid and possible. Everything will depend on several factors:
What are the winters like in your region? If they are cold, then the soil layer probably freezes quite deeply. Due to low temperatures, the root system may die, so in this case it is better not to risk it and take the plants home
Where is your site located? The first thing you should pay attention to is whether the garden is protected from the winds. Although, if properly covered, gusts will not damage the shoots, they will still lower the temperature
In addition, a strong wind can destroy the shelter, and then the chrysanthemums will freeze. The second important point is the terrain of the site. If it is located in a lowland, then with the onset of spring and during a thaw, water will accumulate in the beds, and this can lead to debate and death of the shoots. So the area (especially flower beds) should be level. What variety are your chrysanthemums? They differ: while some can easily tolerate even frosts, others can only withstand mild European winters, and die when the temperature drops significantly. The most frost-resistant are Korean hybrids, which are collectively called “Oak”. This group includes a lot of varieties of different colors and sizes, but they all tolerate even cold winters well. If you are not very knowledgeable, then be especially careful when purchasing, since garden chrysanthemums can easily be confused with capricious and heat-loving house chrysanthemums. But the latter have larger leaves and large lush flowers.
