Solved What flowers is this?

Hi everyone,

can you please tell me what flower/plant this is? (Image attached)

Just have seen them in a local shop but the seller doesn’t know what they are and no label either. They looks beautiful. I want to know how to care before buying them.

Look like some sort of daisy but I can’t find it on google.

Thanks a mil!!!

 

Chrysanthemum.

 

Thanks @pete!!! You’re so speedy

 

Hi @pete, I have brought some of this chrysanthemum. They are already blooming and have some buds. Each plant is about 7-8inch height and 4-5inch spread. Is it very early for them to bloom at this time as they are autumn plant?

I want to transplant them into pots. Can I use acidic soil in my garden? Do I need to add anything else to the pots?

Some flowers are floppier than the others. What can I do?

Thanks a lot!

 

Mmmm, difficult.
They are unlikely to do well in your garden, or to be grown on in pots, they are grown as pot plants, and as you say, in flower at the wrong time of the year.
Thats because they grow them under special conditions, under cover, and given a dwarfing compound.
To be honest, they are usually discarded once flowering finishes.

That's not to say you cant grow them in your garden, or pots, but you need to get plants from a proper source that grows them for garden planting.

 

@pete I enjoy the blooms while it lasts then Will be sad to see them gone. Thanks Pete!

 

I bought some of these mini mum type plants a few years ago for my wife(from my daughter!) for a mothers day basket. As they are forced, it puts them out of kilter for a season or two and whilst not fully hardy, they've survived unaided in a sunny border under a small jubaea. As long as they don't dry out during the summer, they seem to be root hardy. Loved by me for the dark red flowers mine have.....loved by slugs and snails as well!

 

@flounder great stuff!! Thanks for the tips, hope mine can survive over winter

 

Hi @Anh , if you want some Chrysanthemums for growing outdoors try " Woolmans " , they're a specialist company who do mail order. At the moment they have a special collection on offer called " The Paisley Collection " . These are small mound forming plants that can stay in pots outdoors all year round. They flower from about June all the way through to about Nov/December .

 

@KFF Many thanks for the recommendation, I definitely will check them out!!
