Chrysanthemum indicum trio

Overview and Features

Chrysanthemum indicum Trio refers to a multi-colour planting of three Chrysanthemum cultivars—typically in contrasting hues—grown together in one pot or planting space. These varieties are compact, bushy, and free-flowering, bred from Chrysanthemum indicum, a species widely cultivated for its robust growth, profuse blooms, and long-lasting colour display.

Each Trio combines three vibrant colours (such as yellow, pink, white, red, or purple) with uniform growth and simultaneous flowering, creating a bold, eye-catching display from late summer into autumn. It’s perfect for seasonal containers, patio accents, retail displays, and mixed borders.

• Height and spread: Typically 30–40 cm high × 30–45 cm wide

• Foliage: Deep green, aromatic, and lobed

• Flowers: Dense, daisy- or pompom-style blooms in 3 distinct colours per pot

• Bloom time: August to November

• Form: Neat, rounded habit—naturally compact and mounding

• Use: Decorative containers, seasonal colour spots, autumn highlights

Planting and Growing Conditions

Chrysanthemum indicum Trio is designed to be low maintenance, thriving in full sun and producing reliable, dense blooms with minimal input.

• Light Requirements:

  • Prefers full sun (minimum 5–6 hours/day)

  • Part shade may reduce flower count and cause stretching

• Soil Preferences:

  • Grow in fertile, well-drained soil

  • Ideal for containers with a multi-purpose compost and added grit

  • Avoid waterlogged or very dry conditions

• Planting Tips:

  • If planting out, do so in early to mid-autumn for instant display

  • Spacing: Leave 30 cm between each Trio for best shape and airflow

  • Great for pots, beds, balconies, and window boxes

Watering, Feeding, and General Care

With consistent care, Chrysanthemum indicum Trio will bloom continuously through the late season.

• Watering:

  • Water regularly, especially in containers

  • Do not let soil dry out completely—keep evenly moist

  • Avoid overhead watering to prevent flower damage

• Feeding:

  • Apply a liquid tomato-type feed weekly to encourage blooming

  • Stop feeding once flowers begin to fade in late autumn

• Deadheading:

  • Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming period

  • Improves appearance and reduces disease risk

• Pruning:

  • Not usually needed due to naturally tidy shape

  • Cut back to 5–10 cm after flowering if overwintering

Seasonal Use and Combinations

Chrysanthemum indicum Trio offers brilliant, low-effort colour during the transition from summer to autumn.

• Best Uses:

  • Patio pots, steps, and doorways for autumn décor

  • Perfect for instant impact in retail, events, or displays

  • Use in seasonal beds or borders for colour continuity after summer plants fade

  • Excellent centrepiece for harvest and Halloween-themed containers

  • In colder climates, overwinter in a greenhouse, cold frame, or protected porch

• Overwintering Tips:

  • Cut back after flowering and keep cool, dry, and frost-free

  • Water sparingly—avoid soggy roots during dormancy
