Chrysanthemums, the must-have autumn flowers!

The arrival of Chrysanthemums at Montreal's Public Markets is always a head-turner when autumn sets in. These superb flowers are highly resistant to lower temperatures and are perfect for giving a second wind to your horticultural projects, or simply for adding a touch of color to your balcony or terrace. In fact, their name, which means “golden flower”, evokes their brilliance. But did you know that these flowers, so popular today, weren't always so in vogue in Quebec? In the early 2000s, these autumn flowers were still relatively unknown. Back then, the few Chrysanthemum growers were mainly located around Montreal. Louis-Philippe Lacroix of Serres LP Lacroix was one of them. His main customer came from New York State in the United States, but he wanted to expand his production in the hope that the Quebec market would become more interested. Twenty-five years later, it's a successful bet. Chrysanthemums are now an autumn staple! Orange, mauve, pink, yellow, which shade will you choose this year? Where to find Chrysanthemums in Montreal? You'll find Chrysanthemums at every public market in Montreal! At the Jean-Talon Market, don't miss the stand of Serres LP Lacroix, a farm that has been growing without pesticides for over 20 years, north of Laval. At the Atwater Market, you'll find large flower farms that have been around for generations. At the Atwater Market, several large flower farms, present for several generations, also offer a wide selection of flowers: Centre Jardin Atwater, Serres Y. G. Pinsonneault, Noel Wilson & Fils and Willy Haeck & Fils. At Marché Maisonneuve, head for Jardins Dauphinais. How late can you buy Chrysanthemums? Don't delay! Most flower growers will be at their booths until the end of October. Several merchants will be leaving at the same time as the walls are being erected. How long will these flowers remain beautiful? Chrysanthemums require very little maintenance. Just water them like any other plant, and cover them with geotextile fabric in case of frost. According to Isabelle Lacroix of Serres LP Lacroix, your chrysanthemums will withstand temperatures down to around -5 degrees. So, even though autumn is well and truly here, it's still time to put flowers on your balconies! In fact, it's thanks to these cooler nights that chrysanthemum buds come into bloom. Is it possible to replant them and have them bloom again the following year? Yes! Chrysanthemums are perennial flowers. Plant them in the ground and, with a little care, you'll see them bloom again the following year. To protect them from the cold, Noel Wilson Farm recommends covering them with brown burlap and identifying the location of your plant. Indeed, with flowering starting towards the end of August, you risk forgetting that these are your magnificent chrysanthemums! So, even though it's already mid-October, there's still time to get these magnificent autumn flowers into your balconies and terraces!
