What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Edible chrysanthemum is a cool-weather favourite that grows rapidly and rewards regular harvesting with continuous tender shoots.
-
Direct Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors in spring once the soil can be worked (typically May to June), or sow again in late summer for a crisp autumn crop. Plant seeds 6 mm deep and 5 cm apart in rows spaced 30 to 45 cm apart.
-
Thinning: Once seedlings are established, thin plants to 15 cm apart to give foliage plenty of room to bush out.
-
Growing Care: Thrives in cool weather under full sun to partial shade. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season to encourage tender, succulent leaf growth and delay bolting.
-
Harvesting: Ready to harvest in approximately 45 days. Snip young leaves and tender shoots continuously before the plant flowers for the mildest, best culinary flavour. Allow a few plants to bloom from July to September to enjoy their bright daisy-like blossoms.
