Mums and Fall Products

---

Chrysanthemums, or “mums,” are classic flowers that bloom in autumn. Over the years, thousands of varieties have been developed, offering different flower shapes, sizes, colors, and bloom times. Mums typically bloom in the fall when triggered by shorter daylight hours or cooler weather.

Most frequently asked question: What can I do to get my mums to come back in the spring if I plant them in the fall?

The answer depends on several factors. Certain varieties are more vigorous than others, and soil type, planting date, and location all play an important role. Mums grow best in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. They have a higher chance of survival when planted earlier in the season, giving their roots time to grow deep into the soil before frost or freezing temperatures arrive. Planting near a house with southern exposure also improves winter survival. Try some of these tips when planting your mums to increase their chances of returning in spring.

We grow our mums in 9” pots, which typically reach 24” or more across with hundreds of buds.

Asters are another fall-flowering favorite, similar to chrysanthemums. Their blooms come in a wide range of colors, with blue, purple, and pink being the most popular.

Asters are hardier than mums, and many gardeners find they overwinter more successfully. For best results, follow the same tips we recommend for mums.

We grow our asters in 9” pots, and they typically finish 18–24” across.

 These mums are grown in 4-gallon containers to create a large, show-stopping planter with multiple colors. The varieties are carefully selected so all the mums grow to a uniform height and bloom at the same time.

These planters are impressive, reaching about 24”+ tall and 36”+ across.

In addition to mums and asters, we grow a variety of other fall planters containing millet, cabbage, kale, ornamental grasses, and more. Contact us for details on availability and specific combinations.
