Chrysanthemums Grow and Split Up for Better Fall Blooms
Spade and Trowel by Lou Tarr advises dividing chrysanthemum clumps into single-rooted plants spaced about 28 inches apart. Pinch soft tips as shoots reach nine to ten inches to keep plants compact. Prepare soil with humus and manure, plant deep, firm around roots, and water thoroughly during dry periods. Feeding not required but a light complete fertilizer can be used in July.
