Homeowner Growing & Maintenance TipsFor 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 lustrous lovelies 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.
