Chrysanthemum, Chinese Bo-ju-hua (Chrysanthemum morifolium) plant in a 9 inch pot, organic

(13 customer reviews)

$21.00

Family: Aster (Asteraceae)

Hardy to Zones 5 to 10

(Autumn Chrysanthemum, Bo-ju-hua) Evergreen subshrub native to China, an ancient cultigen that cannot be propagated by seed.  This is a choice cultivar, flowering to 3 feet tall and equally as wide, with single-petaled flowers of cream, between 1 and 2 inches in size.  Flowering occurs in my Zone 7 garden in the fall.  Main harvest occurs around Halloween (Oct 31).  This cultivar flowers earlier than Gong-ju-hua.  Taste sweet, considered to be a superior flower for making Chrysanthemum tea. Traditional uses (TCM): one of the Chinese herbs that releases the exterior, used in treating common cold, flu, fever and heatstroke; high blood pressure, heart pain, atherosclerosis; dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus, headache and migraine; red and swollen eyes, blurry vision; liver inflammation and toxicity; infections including staphylococcus, streptococcus and blood spirochetes.  Plant prefers sun and well-drained garden soil, frequent watering.  Space plants 2 feet apart.

    I live in SE MN- zone 4-5 as the updated map is blended for my area. I really would like to get some of these plants for my garden. How would you recommend caring for them?- potted or in the ground? and best way to overwinter them so they survive? Thank You!

      Hello Thistlepatch, Thanks for contacting and for wanting to grow the Chinese Chrysanthemums. They are quite cold hardy and sturdy growers. You are a bit on the cold side for these. They are good in pots but pot culture can be futzy. They do like mulch and mulch helps with overwintering. You can check “Growing Plant Medicine” for the tortuga technique (rock circles filled with sand and compost). I’ve tested Ju-hua in the tortuga and it does extremely well there. The rocks absorb heat from the sun and assist in overwintering. Please order soon, these will sell out. Richo

    Flowers in Fall... yessss

    Megan Olmstead (verified owner)

    So pleased to see these happy flowers in my garden while everybody else is going brown for winter. Shipped with care back in spring, and though it was small at first the plant has grown quickly.
    The leggy bits who elongated over summer I layered back into the garden bed and they are rooting. I anticipate my mum patch to grow larger and brighten up a brown landscape on into the future

    yenluu8 (verified owner)

    Hi Richo,

    Is this Bu Ju Hua yellow or white color? I remember the Bu Jua hua plants I got from you the first time that is back a few years ago, the flowers were yellow and had a very fragrant smell. But they died, and I have been trying to grow them again and have bought several more times. I don’t know why I am not able to grow them. I just got two plants back in spring this year, but I am wondering what color of flowers they would have because the pictures on your website show that they are white and not yellow. I remember the plants that I got from you had yellow flowers and they smelled so good.

      helo yenluu, thanks for writing! i just went out and picked a flower of the Bo-ju-hua for reference. I can see a big bush of them right out the side window of my office. Anyway, they are fragrant, and despite what the picture might show (and pictures are not always real accurate on color) the central disk is bright yellow and the ray flowers are tinged in yellow. richo

      hello uma, the bo-ju-hua has bigger flowers with yellow centers and the gong is a white button by my recollection. the gallery photos are accurate to the plant. the bo-ju-hua is sweeter and the gong-ju-hua is more bitter. they are both used in TCM. r

    Received your plants to Sacramento, potted up and they are doing well since May. Thank you! How do I take cuttings and propagate for more plants? Also at what point is the flower picked? Is it just dried or is there some additional processing?

      hi dan, the flowers are best picked at full maturity and promptly dried. they should be turned frequently and stored in glass. once your plants spread significantly from the crown you can just make lower stem cuttings of marginally rooted material with a couple of buds each and they will take. this plant can also be propagated from cuttings of the green stem but its trickier. r

    Teresa Sundmark

    We got our chrysanthemum from you in the spring of this year, potted it to let it grow a bit and then put it in the ground. It’s beginning to shoot up new growth and seems to be doing well. We live in coastal Alaska where it can get down to around 10 degrees in the winter. Normally we have good snow cover. Any advice for tucking our chrysanthemum in for winter? Thanks in advance!

      Hi Teresa, coastal alaska must be pristine and lovely. i imagine you need a good parka for the winter. your chrysanthemum will want one, too, mounded up with straw that is. that should help it overwinter without smothering the new spring growth. r

    Very hardy plant!

    Kimberly Wood (verified owner)

    Purchased this chrysanthemum early in spring for the May shipping. Bo Ju Hua is on the left. It was so tiny when it arrived, it was originally planted in a grey pot like the one the garten meister is in on the right of the photo, but when I had to move those plants under cover due to our second bout of 100+ temperatures, there were roots coming out the bottom!!! So I repotted them a size up, and was shocked at how pot bound they were! These guys survived shipping, the worst heat wave ever (118) and a second heat wave only being pulled under a deck roof for the worst days and you’d never know, unlike the sad fushia that lost most of its leaves to the heat. I don’t know if these plants will outgrow their current pots next year or not. I’d put them in the ground, but it’s a mud pie for months and I wouldn’t be able to shelter them in the event of terrible weather.

      I ordered both the Bo Ju Hua and the Gong Ju Hua. I transplanted them in a pot with an organic potting soil blend. Half my Bo Ju Hua’s wilted and died. Only two left. They are more scrawny than the Gong Jua Hua’s which appeared to thrive. However, I left them in the sun and rain (rainy season here now) alone for three weeks and they appear a little yellow in color and have not had much growth. Thoughts? Is the FL sun too much? Am I too close to the gulf? Are they getting too much water and need more fertilizer? I added an organic blend to the top soil tonight.

      Hello Dr Sexauer, Thanks for staying in touch. My thought is that the bo-ju-hua is not working for you and it may be best to concentrate on the gong-ju-hua which seems to be working. Potted culture in a hot and humid climate is not really what these need. They prefer a cool climate, plenty of water and will grow better if planted into the soil. Richo

      Hi Richo, thanks for the update. I wanted to report back that I had my first flowers from both the Bo and the Gong Ju Hua today, November 24th, Satasota FL. I moved the to a spot that gets sun only half the day. I think moving them into less sun and giving the extra fertilizer turned things around for us. The intense Florida summer heat and rain was too much. We are having a cold spell (ie 60-70F) for the last week or so and the plants have bloomed!
      My first cup of tea was delicious. So nice to have them fresh.
      Wondering if I should pinch back again after they are done blooming or just let them go. Also, should I not expect blooms again until next year or will they keep going given the weather should be moderate now until about April…

    Hello 🙂 I was hoping you could possibly help with my question. I did a bit of research first but was curious to hear from you if you could possibly share any info on the difference between Bo-ju-hua and Gong-ju-hua?? My research mentioned the Bo being superior to the Gong. Have you discovered this in working with the two varieties of what I thought was only one???? Thank you!!

      Hi Kristen, Bo-ju-hua is official. The flowers of this cultivar make up the standard herb in TCM. Other cultivars are interesting in their own right. There’s a thorough go-through of the different cultivars and what to expect from them in my book “making plant medicine.” If you have an interest in Ju-hua, make sure to hit waitlist. We’re going to put up a large number more for sale before spring hits. richo

    Ours arrived early Spring. We put it in a huge pot on the Southern side of the house. Found it preferred early sun, not afternoon after seeing drooping in the heat. It flourished on the Southeast ern side of the house and my daughter and I just harvested a very good amount of tea blooms for it’s first Autumn! Very excited for next year as we learned a lot this year. Highly recommend!

      Dear Richo – would the chrysanthemums and daisies be counter indicated for low blood pressure in TCM or traditional usage? I was told Chrysanthemum and goji berry tea is traditionally used to strengthen eyes, but want to educate myself about the blood pressure aspect.

    Mine arrived in Zone 5 at the end of April, and spent the next couple weeks losing all 4 leaves it had arrived with. I had put it in a sunny spot with good drainage and watered when it didn’t rain so I didn’t know what was wrong. Not to fear! New leaves are now growing in, 1 month after arrival. Looks like it will be just fine, excited for tea in the fall.

      Hi Patrick,
      The plants in the field overwintered well despite nominal flooding. The potted plants in the outdoor nursery overwintered well and are already being sent out to fulfill early orders. After those sell out, orders will be fulfilled with greenhoused plants that are growing fast and will require acclimatization to cold. That would be what you would get if you ordered now.

      Very Hardy. Drought and Cold resistant. I bought a couple cuts 3 years back and they have propagated by cutting very well. Produces tons of beautiful cream yellow flowers that bees go crazy for. Makes excellent chrysanthemum tea (Ju-Hua). Greenhouse specimens did suffer from some mealybugs and scale, but quickly recovered

      I’m in zone 6a and would like to know the best way to overwinter this chrysanthemum.
      Last year I tried growing it directly in the soil; sadly, no luck. This year I have it in a pot, and the plants are thriving. Do I overwinter them in the same pots or try to plant them in the ground after they finish blooming, which is looking to be probably some time in Nov.? Thanks!

      My vote would be to keep it potted up and give it some protection through the winter. A cold greenhouse would be perfect.

      Plants, no, but I can recommend Richters herbs in Ontario. We do ship seeds to Canada daily.

      Yes, this is the main type used in TCM. The folk wisdom is that the flower blossoms once on the plant, and again in the teacup. r
