Our sage advice from lessons learned after planting thousands of mums.
Did you know we start planting our mums in June?
We carefully water, fertilize, space and supervise their happy little lives until late August when they start to show off their color -- Finally!
Not all mums grow and bloom at the same time. This allows us to grow different varieties so we have new bloomers all season long. We grow over 45 different varieties of mums!
Read on to learn how to best take care of your mums!

Did you know mums do not like to grow in the shade? It actually makes their flower less vibrant.
Oh Mum, you can be so picky!
Mums are little bit like Goldilocks when it comes to watering, depending on their pot size.
You'll definitely want to check to see if they need watering each day.
Small pots will dry out quickly so you may need to water them twice a day.
Larger pots - you should always check to see before you water them. If your pot is really heavy, don't water it because they can easily get root rot once the temperatures start to cool down.
Mums can get sick if you water them from above so be sure to avoid getting their fluffy leaves and blooms wet. We recommend carefully watering from the side.
Take extra care during watering to not bend/break their stems - they won’t grow back!
Besides all that, they're pretty easy! :)
Mums can be a little particular but they're also forgiving when they need to bee!
