Care Instructions:

Chrysanthemum ‘Yogin’, commonly known as GINGER Chrysanthemum, is a stunning perennial known for its warm, ginger-colored blooms that brighten up gardens in the late summer to fall. This variety is appreciated for its robust growth and the ability to add rich, earthy tones to garden beds, borders, and containers. GINGER Chrysanthemum is not only valued for its beauty but also for its relatively easy maintenance and long blooming period.

Light

GINGER Chrysanthemum thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Full sun promotes healthy growth and vibrant flowering. In hot climates, it can tolerate some afternoon shade to protect the blooms from fading.

Water

Water the plant regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure the top inch of soil dries out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

Soil

Chrysanthemum ‘Yogin’ prefers well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0) is ideal. Mulching around the plant base helps retain soil moisture and keep the roots cool.

Temperature

The ideal temperature range for GINGER Chrysanthemum is between 60°F and 70°F (16°C to 21°C). It is hardy in USDA zones 5-9, and while it can tolerate light frost, it should be protected from prolonged freezing temperatures.

Humidity

This plant prefers moderate humidity levels. It benefits from good air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases. Avoid overly humid conditions, especially indoors or in greenhouses, to reduce the risk of mold or mildew.

Fertilizer

Feed your GINGER Chrysanthemum with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. A fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content is beneficial for promoting abundant flowering.
