Homeowner Growing
& Maintenance TipsVictoria 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 24-36” 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 Winter months for extra protection from harsh weather!
