I ordered chrysanthemums from Bluestone Perennials after watching one of your first videos on mums and I have really enjoyed them. I was worried last summer when we broke records on triple-digit heat here in Texas but they pulled through and bloomed in the fall. Thanks for introducing us to heirloom chrysanthemums.
I did the same. I ordered some chrysanthemums after Amanda's video on bluestone perennials, and these flowers did so great. They flowered in the fall, and now, almost 1 year, they got so tall and healthy and about to bloom.
Which side of the house do you have your mums? Also in Texas ❤
@@summerofstacey6676 I ended up placing two orders. I received one order at the end of March. Each time I order I buy their multi-pack to save a little money. Anyway, I have two on the north side of the house, one on the west side, and the rest on the south side. The mum on the west side gets hammered with the afternoon sun and it was my smallest one. I was worried about it but it made it through the summer even with water restrictions. It was definitely the smallest one but now you can't tell. It is a healthy plant and is covered with buds. I hope that helps.
@@michelechambers4494 awesome! thank you for replying!….that makes me more excited to give them a try now 😘
I’m so glad they work for you!
Great information, now I am trying to figure out where I can squeeze some in my garden, lol!!!
I’m always looking for a place to squeeze something else in!
Great info and now I think I'm obsessed😊 The blooms are so beautiful and who doesn't love fall blooms!
I totally agree!
Really enjoyed this video Amanda, I love the look of the heirloom chrysanthemums theyre beautiful. BTW your America rose is looking really good, gorgeous salmon pink - love that color!
Oh thank you!
I have never even heard of heirloom chrysanthemums! I do have some ‘everyday’ chrysanthemums that I had gotten last year on clearance. They bloomed for me last year and are just starting to bloom again for me right now. Before I even finished watching your video I started looking at the websites that you listed. Kings Mums is not selling plants right now. The tiny cuttings from Clara Joyce Flowers had me worried. I didn’t want to have to baby them so much. But I have just orderred some from Bluestone Perennials! I’m so exited to get them!!! 😊
Good choice! I started with the more robust plants from Bluestone Perennials!
You are the one who got me inspired last year to grow chrysanthemums last year. I started two varieties by seed from baker creek and and now I'm not sure if they are hybrid or heirloom. They all germinated and look beautiful. This will be my learning year.
Thanks for sharing your mess! It's reality.
That is awesome! I’m so impressed that you were able to start from seed as that is super hard!
@shesamadgardener ok, I pulled the seed packet out and thee are actually from Johnny's seeds and Chinese asters. Tower violet aster and king sized apricot aster. I'm still learning and not sure if these are hybrid or heirloom or classified as chrysanthemums. It gets confusing. Lol. Think they'll be be beautiful though and maybe next year I'll order some perennial chrysanthemums.
Haha! You are to blame for all the chrysanthemums I’ve just ordered from King’s mums!!! 😂 have never grown before so will be rewatching your videos! 🌺
😂😂😂
I planted some little ones that were in Walmart clearance. In spring they have some of the bigger mums blooming. They grow to be absolute bushes 4' tall and are going on year 4 now. It's always a gamble if I'll get blooms because they won't bloom until November. I would love to try some earlier varieties and support small propagators. Can't wait to see yours bloomed out
That’s awesome!
❤ another great informative video. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Kings is good, if you can get in. But also Oregon chrysanthemums and Hostas: I have gotten orders from them, and they have a big variety and nice looking starts, and you only need to get one of each kind. It’s not too late, they bloom in November.
I’ll go check out Oregon Chrysanthemums, thanks!
😁😁😁🌼. Thank you so much for the information.
You are so welcome!
Your picks are gorgeous! And Chrysanthemums bloom spring and fall, what a bonus! Dahlias are only late summer 😅
Agreed!
Lots of great information. The roses are beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the Chrysanthemums blooming. 🤗
Me too!!
Always look forward to your videos coming out ❤❤..these are going to be beautiful 😊😊
Thanks so much 😊
They come in such cute containers!!
They were super tiny containers!
Love your tutorials ❤❤❤ I learn so much ❤❤❤ have a beautiful blessed day 🥰
Thank you! You too!
An old fashioned favorite
Agreed ❤️
They are so gorgeous! You make me want to try some too.
I hope you will!
Beautifull plants
Thanks!
I learned a lot. Thx
Awesome!
Never heard of these, but would like to add to my garden.
Awesome!
Great video. You really got me hooked on heirloom chrysanthemums, last year. I bought from Bluestone Perennials. I'm a lot older than you are so want established plants. My French Vanilla also bloomed earlier than the others. Mine are on a slope that faces west and gets intense afternoon sun. They lasted right up until a hard frost. They even survived some massive digging due to a leaking underground pipe.I didn't mulch them during the winter. We had a mild winter and they have come back nicely this spring, 7b. Didn't know they were heavy feeders so will be more aware of fertilizing. I'm ready to order more.
They really are very hardy plants! They can certainly take a beating and still produce!
Hi. I’m so pleased about your foray into chryzzies. (Phaedra calls them that) I’m just starting this year. Maybe a video on the classifications? It’s hard when there’s all these codes on the sites and time consuming to try to research everything. Thank you so much.
Agreed the codes are definitely hard! A classification video is a great idea!
Hi Amanda, I love the ones you choose I have the wine one and it gets as big as 4 feet and as wide.All mine comes from buying them in the fall or my mum buys them and I throw them in the ground I've grown them in full west afternoon sun and then along my south fence which is dabbled sun 9a Nor CaI love cutting and drying them for fall arrangements and wreaths.I have to say again that I'm grateful to have found you and your videos are just packed with fantastic information!Thank you for sharing 🕊️💚🌹
Oh I hope mine gets that big!
I had great luck growing dahlia from seed. Really good germination.
I did seed dahlias this year as well and had a great germination … my zone just gets too hot for too long to allow for flower production of the dahlias.
I love your shirt :D
Thanks!
❤❤❤❤their gorgeous. Difinitely check this later.
Yay!
Very interesting ⚾️
Glad you think so!
Beautiful trying to figure out a good spot in my garden lol 😆
Good luck!
Interesting.
Glad you think so!
I too placed an order for perennial chrysanthemums through Bluestone Perennials. I was very impressed with their website and the many plants they offered, especially the chrysanthemums. I don’t mind paying more for a bigger-sized young plant. I was not at all impressed with the size of the Clara Joyce cuttings. A big fail on their part shipping those out.
Yeah I’ll have to contact them if they don’t work out.
Great content! Sorry I’ve not been consistent. Life 🙄. I’ve purchased from Kings waited a year to get o the list- not disappointed. Dan Cooper Gardener is great on how to grow Mums in pots successfully. Good to know I am starting my mum cuttings the exact same way as you.! I do have a problem with some of my mums though. Have you thought of doing a video on the different types of pests and diseases that affect mums and how to correct? I think that would be a great video. I did find spider mites on some of my moms so I am using so we dishwater to correct that but it seems as though there’s a secondary issue at the base of the plant. I barely even touched the branch and it just fell right off in my hand so I gave it a cut and repotted it but I just keep wondering what’s going on. Maybe it’s something in my soil. It’s not a good thought, taking all these out and repotting them in inoculated soil.🥺☹️🙄 I’m going to try some amendments from Luke over at Mi Gardner that he has in his shop
I will go check out Dan! Thank you! As for pests, I haven’t dealt with much of anything on the mums as of yet … my biggest issue is a little iron deficiency so far.
Love
Thanks!
😊

Nice video and like your notebook. fully watched. 81👍❤️📗💐🎉
Thank you 🤗
Trying some this year...need to find a part sun spot because ms zone 8b full sun will be too much I think
They definitely benefit from some afternoon shade.

I love those Heirloom Chrysanthemums but I think my summers may be too hot, it’s the reason I can’t grow dahlias. Usually my summer is anywhere from 100 - 110. I felt so disappointed for you when those cuttings arrived, they were so dry and I’m not surprised there was nothing to keep them moist. I’ve never seen plants arrive like that without moisture. I really hope they survive for you which I’m sure they will as you’ll be watching them carefully haha.
They are looking a lot better now that they are potted up, so I’m hoping they pull through.
@@shesamadgardener that’s good, they’ll be lovely flowers. 😊
Are really really pretty I just love them yeah I don't know I haven't I just get the ones that from the store but I would love to start some of those I have 30 gardens at memorial Park in New Kensington PA Amazon 6B and I don't know if they would come back in my area or not I know some of them some do if I get like the daisy type that you know the store gives out they come back but the other ones I don't know I like to find out more about it that's for sure thank you very much okay bye
You would definitely need to check the hardiness zones for any of the varieties to make sure they will come back in zone 6.
Totally random but have you ever read the children's book "Chrysanthemum" by Kevin Henkes? Everytime you do a video on them I think of that book 😊
I haven’t but I’ll look it up!
@@shesamadgardener it's such a sweet book, with a great moral!
I was disappointed with my cuttings from Clara Joyce. King mums and Bluestone were much better. I already received my from King’s Mums in late March. They were in much better shape.
I think so too, but I’m going to give them some time and see how they grow up. Hopefully they will turn out okay!
@@shesamadgardener I had challenges with the heirloom mums I didn't get into the ground by mid-april. They didn't get established and the heat got to a few of them. I used shade cloth on other ones and that helped. I bought a few from Goose Creek that were slightly larger than yours but I just got them Saturday.
They are amazing for a Fall show. I second your comment on cutting back earlier. I had some blooming in early January. I'm planning to stop cutting back by June 1st. The fall bloom time is impacted if we get 100 degree weather in mid to late Sept like we did this year in DFW. Mine get some afternoon sun which both helps and hurts them so I use shade cloth in the summer to help. Each plug in one year has turned into 12 to 24 inches by 6 to 12. It's pretty insane the growth. The bigger the flower type, the larger the growth for me. I did disbud and the flowers got huge. I'm definitely doing it again. It was worth it. For example, with Cheerleader, I got 8 large flowers. This year, it will be more like 24. I'm also experimenting on seeing if a few buds flower by June. If not, I’ll just disbud for the fall. I also grow Dahlias. These mums are 10x with similar results. Dahlias still are amazing but they are so much work and issues in Texas. I'm trying to use 15 to 20 gallon pots (versus grow bags) to see if that works better. I find by June I have to cut them to the ground or pests or disease get to them no matter what I use. I did start a few of them in November and they are flowering now. I suspect I'll get a month of decent flowers before I have to cut them back. My goal with a pots is to move them around and bring them inside now and again and see if that gets me a better fall show.
I was wanting to ask you what size grow bags are those I bought 5 gallon size but I’m thinking I should’ve got a bigger size
I use 5 and 10 gallon bags
Interested to know how long your box spent in shipping?
Hmm, I’m not sure but couldn’t have been more than 3-4 days.
Have you ever started from seed? I watched a video the other day that made it sound easy but it must not be it you don’t do it!?
I’ve never started them from seed or even been able to locate seeds for them. But I saw that another person commented on this video that they have!
Seeds are not the way to do this. People selling seeds are not selling real heirlooms. They only grow from cuttings. You can grow seeds, but will only get the daisy look, not those really full pretty ones.
A lot of plaint tone?
Yep, I added a lot 😂
I hope your chrysanthemum thrives
Same ❤️
