Chrysanthemum – Latte Love (Pack of 3)
Add soft, romantic tones to your late-season garden with the beautiful Chrysanthemum Latte Love. This stunning variety produces full, cushion-style blooms in a dreamy blend of creamy white, soft blush pink, and gentle rose tones. The layered petals create a lush, rounded flower that resembles a delicate pom-pom, bringing texture and warmth to garden beds and fall arrangements.
Latte Love chrysanthemums bloom later in the season, providing a welcome burst of color when many summer flowers begin to fade. Their abundant blooms and strong stems make them excellent for garden displays, borders, containers, and long-lasting cut flower arrangements. These flowers also help attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies during the late growing season.

Growing Instructions for Zone 3b
Chrysanthemums grow well in cooler climates and can return year after year with proper winter protection in Zone 3b.
Planting Time
Plant roots in spring after the danger of hard frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
Location
Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily with well-drained, fertile soil.
Planting Depth
- Plant the root clump about 1–2 inches below the soil surface.
- Spread roots gently and cover lightly with soil.
- Water thoroughly after planting.
Spacing
Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow room for mature growth and airflow.
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during active growth.
Fertilizing
Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again in early summer to encourage strong plants and abundant blooms.
Pinching for Bushier Plants
Pinch back growing tips in early summer to encourage fuller, bushier plants and more flowers.
Winter Care in Zone 3b
- After frost, cut stems back to about 3–4 inches above the soil.
- Apply a thick layer of mulch to protect roots during winter.
- In colder areas, plants can also be grown in containers and moved to a sheltered location.
With proper care, Latte Love Chrysanthemums will produce beautiful soft-toned blooms that bring warmth, texture, and color to late-season gardens and fall floral displays.
