Chrysanthemums are best transplanted in the spring, and in the autumn, dig out bushes along with a large clod of earth and clean them for wintering in a dry basement room with a temperature of +5 degrees. But if you have winter hardy varieties, then you can transplant them in the fall, only you should correctly calculate the time of planting.
The most suitable time for planting chrysanthemum in autumn is in late September - early October. A cloudy or even rainy day will be the most ideal day for planting.
Remember: in order that your bushes are well established, for planting in the fall, choose those plants on which the radical shoots were formed. During this period, it is not necessary to plant shrubs that bloom, since there is a risk that they will not take root and die.
