How to Plant Mums From a SeedChrysanthemums-- "mums" for short--are a fall-blooming flower that has been heavily hybridized, resulting in plants in a variety of sizes that bloom in a rainbow of colors and flower shapes.Instructions1 .Prepare a garden bed for your chrysanthemum seeds about two months prior to first frost in the fall or in early spring, advises gardening expert Danny Lipford,. Chrysanthemums are not too picky, according to Purdue Extension, though they grow best in soil that drains well, is slightly acid and receives at least six hours of sun per day. The extension service recommends amending your seed bed with humus in the form of peat, leaf mold or well-rotted manure. Dig the material into your soil with a shovel to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. Rake the surface smooth.2 .Sow your chrysanthemum seeds across the surface of the soil. Chrysanthemum seeds are tiny and just need to be sprinkled across the soil's surface. Water in gently and keep consistently moist. They should germinate in one to three weeks, according to Lipford.3 .Thin new seedlings to about 6 inches apart. When they have developed two sets of true leaves, Washington State University's Spokane County Extension advises either thinning seedlings again to 18 to 24 inches apart and fertilizing them with half-strength liquid fertilizer (if growing in their desired location), or transplanting them to new locations with full sun and well-drained, acidic soil, then applying fertilizer.
