Chrysanthemums can be grown in all 50 states and in all zones. They will do the best in zones 4-9 but can grow in tropical or very hot regions with special care.

In hot and humid climates, spacing your mums correctly and making sure your soil has good drainage will help a lot. Also plant in places that get afternoon sun if you get consistent temps above 100 midsummer.

This is growing advice for US regions that are hot and dry. Think Phoenix, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada type climates.

Plant cold hardy cuttings in the spring after last frost or 6-8 weeks before the first frost so as to give your plants time to establish roots before they go dormant for the winter.
