Yes, chrysanthemums can be grown from seed, but it can be more difficult than propagating through stem cuttings or division. Start by sowing the seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, planting them in trays or pots filled with moist potting soil. Cover the seeds with a light layer of soil and keep them in a warm, bright location. Once the seedlings have emerged, thin them out to ensure adequate spacing and continue to care for them as you would any other young plants. It's important to note that chrysanthemum seeds may not produce plants that are identical to the parent plant, so there may be some variation in flower colour or other characteristics.
