& Maintenance Tips

Wilma White is an easy to grow perennial that prefers to be planted in an area that receives full sun, but can get by with a half day of direct sunshine.  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.  Having a good circulation between the plants will help reduce the chance of powdery mildew on your plants.  Mulch in Winter months for extra protection from harsh weather.
