About -

Adorn your garden with Richgrow Seeds Chrysanthemum Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Chrysanthemum spp.), ideal for home gardeners seeking stunning, colorful blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as Mums or Shevanti, this variety produces large, intricate flowers, measuring 5–15 cm across, in shades of white, yellow, pink, red, purple, or bicolor, perfect for beds, borders, containers, or as premium cut flowers, blooming from 10–12 weeks after sowing through late summer to fall. Rich in nectar, chrysanthemums attract pollinators like butterflies, enhancing garden vibrancy, while their blooms are culturally significant in festivals. The bushy, upright plants, growing 30–90 cm tall, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in cool to mild climates, with optimal sowing in spring (March–May) or early fall (September–October) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and West Bengal, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.2–0.5 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 30–45 cm apart in rows 45 cm wide; press seeds lightly into soil, as they need light to achieve 85% germination within 10–20 days at 15–25°C. Maintain moist soil with regular watering (0.5–1 liter per plant every 2–3 days), pinch tips at 15–20 cm tall to encourage bushiness, and fertilize with organic compost or a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks; use neem oil for pests like spider mites or leafhoppers. Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering and stake taller varieties, with excellent durability for cut flowers. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (200–250 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Pinch and deadhead for fuller blooms; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
