        300 Seeds Pack    

 Soaking needs to be done at least a few hours before planting, and preferably overnight. To prevent damping off when starting seeds indoors, it’s essential that you disinfect all of your pots, plastic grow trays, seed cells, and seedling tray covers before you reuse them. 

Can grow in plant containers in your balcony garden or inside near a sunny window. 

Chrysanthemum flowers are originally native to China, where the blossoms are steeped in legend and have been cultivated since the 15th century BCE. Chinese explorers brought the flowers to Japan in the 8th century CE.

The flowers were spread into Europe in the 17th century along the Silk Road and other trade routes and were brought to North and South America at the end of the 18th century.

They thrive in many different climates, including hot summer areas and areas with cooler and more humid weather. 

Perennial, the Chrysanthemum comes from the same plant family as daisies or sunflowers. A unique variety of chrysanthemum, this plant produces clusters of striking pure white globe-like blooms throughout the summer.
