Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips For best growth, plant your fall mums in fertile well drained soil.  Plant at least 6 weeks before a heavy frost to establish itself, therefore increasing its chances of returning the next year!  These beauties will grow 18-24”  tall, full and bushy, so they should be planted 18-24” apart.  Color from late Summer through the Fall.  Having good circulation between the plants will help reduce the chance of powdery mildew on your plants.  Extra mulch in the winter will help protect and promote their return next year!

Interesting Notes Chrysanthemum is from the Greek, chrysos (gold) and anthoas (flower)   The most popular flower form is the “decorative,” which is so packed with long, broad petals that you can hardly see its center.  Perfect for Fall landscape Multitudes of blooms to embellish borders Pair with Needlepoint Ivy and Red Mums for a vibrant Fall container Mulch plant in the winter for extra protection Color through late Summer and Fall
