Name:GARDEN MUMS
Category:Perennial
Prefers: Sun

Although this is the Fall and  Winter Annual section these Garden Mums  are Perennial.

Mums begin to come ready for sale in September.

Planting Mums  that are "tight" ( like the first pic) not opened all the way yet, will allow  for longer bloom life in your beds.

Planting Mums in the fall is a great way to change the season. They normally last in  bloom about eight weeks with a spectacular display of color.

The nice thing about the garden mum is that they come back year after year to give your garden a blast of color in the fall.

Mums die back to the ground during the Winter. They begin to re-sprout early in the spring.

Some mums may try to bloom during the spring months in our climate.

This is fine, although for a true Fall Color Display trim all bud, blooms, and elongated stems around mid June, to promote re-budding and timing for the  full Fall impact.
