| I ordered a wide variety of chrysanthemum seeds this week before doing much research.
I assumed you sowed them outdoors after the frost-free date, but all information I've found recommends starting them indoors. I am planning to grow hundreds of them, so starting them indoors isn't ideal! :( Has anyone successfully sown them outdoors? Can you do that or do I need to sow indoors now? What about germinating them in a paper towel and then planting outside??? Thank you in advance for all your knowledge and help!!!! |

| I have sown them outside in the Spring with ok results. Maybe 1/4 bloomed but they all bloomed great the following year for me. They just take time, starting inside will assure you get a better percentage of mature (blooming) plants in the Fall but, you can start them in the Spring. I hope that helps Keriann~ |

| Thank you!!! It definitely helps. What zone are you in? I have my fingers crossed they will overwinter here in 5b. |
