But when you grow a chrysanthemum in the ground, you really should begin with a garden variety, plant in spring, feed and pinch all summer, then let them bloom as nature intended in fall. Unfortunately all the chrysanthemums one buys in pots have been forced by lights and darkness to make them bloom at will year round. Also you really should plant the garden varieties and not those which are designed for forcing under lights.
