By Teo Spengler Chrysanthemums are some of a gardener’s best friends, demanding only full sun, well-drained soil and regular irrigation to thrive. Also called hardy garden mums, these popular bedding flowers are generally trouble free. If you see your chrysanthemum leaves turning yellow, you’ll have to figure out what is going wrong. Read on for information about problems with chrysanthemum plants. Yellowing Chrysanthemum Leaves – Poor Drainage If you see yellowing chrysanthemum leaves on your plants, take a look at your soil. Garden mums that are planted in heavy soil or soil that drains poorly are not happy plants. The plants need well-draining soil to thrive. If the soil doesn’t release water, the mum’s roots drown and you see your chrysanthemum plant yellowing. Your best bet in this case is to move the plants to a site with lighter soil. Alternatively, you can improve the soil by blending in sand
