| I planted some chrysanthemums in my front yard and they are already dying. What do you feed mums? I feed them regular miracle grow and I don't guess it helped. How often do I need to water them? Help!! |
| Robin, They are pretty easy to please. If you have not had a soil test I would suggest a fertilizer that is balanced in a 1:1:1 ratio. If you do have your soil tested the phosphorus may be adequate and so a 3:1:2 ratio product (such as turf fertilizer) would be fine. Miracle Gro is fine unless you are feeding a lot of chrysnathemums and need a more economical dry product in a larger bag. Water as needed to keep the soil slightly moist. Once every 4 days or so in summer and much less often in fall and spring as the temps are cooler and the weather tends to be wetter. Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
