When Do Autumn Chrysanthemums Usually Bloom? An Analysis of Their Blooming Period

There are many varieties of chrysanthemums, and different varieties bloom in different seasons. Do you know when autumn chrysanthemums bloom? Let's take a look!

1. When Do Autumn Chrysanthemums Bloom

Autumn chrysanthemums generally bloom from October to November each year. There are many chrysanthemum varieties, and depending on sunlight conditions and the growing environment, the blooming time will vary somewhat.

2. What Value Do Chrysanthemums Have

1. Medicinal value

White chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) has a sweet taste and a slightly weaker heat-clearing effect, and excels at calming the liver and brightening the eyes; yellow chrysanthemum has a bitter taste and a stronger heat-dispelling effect, and is often used to dispel wind-heat; wild chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum) tastes very bitter and has a very strong heat-clearing and detoxifying effect. The stems and leaves of wild chrysanthemum have uses similar to the flowers, and are effective whether taken internally or applied externally. Mulberry leaf and chrysanthemum can both dispel wind-heat and clear and purge the lungs and liver, so for conditions such as externally contracted wind-heat, fever and headache, and red, swollen, painful eyes, the two herbs are often used together to complement each other. However, mulberry leaf is better at dispelling wind and clearing the lungs, so for treating dry cough due to lung dryness, mulberry leaf is often used rather than chrysanthemum; chrysanthemum, on the other hand, excels at calming liver yang and can also clear heat and detoxify.

2. Ornamental value

According to how early or late the blooming period is, there are early chrysanthemums (blooming in September), autumn chrysanthemums (October to November), and late chrysanthemums (December to January), but through the hard work of horticulturists in cultivating them and changing sunlight conditions, there are also May chrysanthemums that bloom in May and July chrysanthemums that bloom in July. Chrysanthemums are short-day plants. In China's chrysanthemum cultivation, this biological characteristic has already been used to advance or delay the blooming of autumn chrysanthemums for holiday scene displays, park flowerbed arrangements, or bonsai arrangements.
