Dividing and Transplanting Chrysanthemums
August19,1998
Our Mums have expanded greatly we need to know how to divide and replant and
when to do this. The mums are outside in our front landscaping. We live
in northern Kentucky by Cincinnati. Please help!!!
Chrysanthemums should be divided every three to five years to avoid overcrowding
and promote maximum flowering. They should be divided in the spring when
new growth appears. Dig entire clumps and separate the plants with a sharp,
clean knife or spade. Remove dead and diseased plants. Replant as soon
as possible in a loose, well- drained, organic soil. Chrysanthemums should
periodically be moved to a new location, but if this is not feasible, the
soil should be sterilized chemically to reduce danger of disease and insect
problems.
