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 purple pretties 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. Mulch in the winter helps to protect and promote their return!
