How much sun do chrysanthemums need?

Our Advice:

Chrysanthemums are sun-loving plants that require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. They can tolerate partial shade, but too much shade can result in weak stems and fewer blooms. It's important to place them in a location with good air circulation and well-draining soil. In hot climates, chrysanthemums may benefit from some afternoon shade to protect them from scorching.
