Cultivation

Open Field — Chrysanthemum indicum

Chrysanthemum indicum L.

Chrysanthemum indicum is a thermophilic species sensitive to unregulated open-field conditions, which restricts its cultivation outside of greenhouses to regions with mild climates.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Indian chrysanthemum, where this is mentioned in the description.

Unlike hardy chrysanthemum species, Chrysanthemum indicum requires mandatory protection from cold winters. Cultivation in open ground without cover leads to a decline in growth metrics, including a reduction in plant height, a decrease in the number of lateral shoots, and a reduction in the total number of inflorescences.

When grown in open fields, it is necessary to provide plants with wind protection, good soil drainage, and mulching to control moisture levels. In regions with freezing winters, it is mandatory to relocate plants to a protected area or provide substantial shelters to prevent winterkill.
