How long does it take for chrysanthemums to grow from seed to bloom?

Our Advice:

The time it takes for chrysanthemum seeds to grow into blooming plants varies depending on the type of chrysanthemum and growing conditions. Typically, it can take 4 to 6 months from seed to bloom. It's important to start the seeds early in the season, preferably in late winter or early spring, indoors or in a greenhouse, to allow enough time for the plants to develop and bloom. The seeds should be sown in well-draining soil, kept moist but not waterlogged, and placed in a warm, bright location. Once the seedlings have developed true leaves, they can be transplanted to larger pots or into the garden.
