What type of fertilizer is for chrysanthemums?

Answer 1

Any all-purpose fertilizer, like Miracle-Gro. There are 3 numbers on a package of fertilizer; the middle one should always be higher (e.g. 5-10-5). That's the one that promotes flowering.

Answer 2

Garden chrysanthemums grow best in a variety of soils but must have excellent drainage conditions. Growth is poor and winterkill likely in poorly drained wet soils. Sunny locations are good sites. Plants in semishady locations will be taller, have weaker stems, and bloom later in the fall. Incorporate 2 - 4" of peat moss, compost, or well-rotted barnyard manure into the soil. If you use only peat moss or do not add organic matter, apply 3 to 4 pounds per 100 square feet of a complete fertilizer such as 5-10-10 or 5-10-5 in the spring. Sidedressing plants with a complete fertilizer in early August, especially in years of abundant rainfall or irrigation, also is recommended. If the fertilizer applied in the spring is a slowly available type, such as coated or organic fertilizer, the second application may not be necessary. Space plants 18 - 24" apart, depending on the mature size of the cultivar.

If you are in country side, dried cow dung is the best manure. In cities, you have to really take the help of the gardener who is selling farm implements.
