Expert Gardener 3QT White Mum Live Plant

Chrysanthemums, lovingly known as mums for short, set the decorating tone for autumn. This 8" mum provides memorable late-season color for your fall decorating. The flower show doesn’t really get started until after you receive your planter, which is by design and means a longer flowering period for you. Feature the beautiful blooms on the patio, by your front door, or atop a retaining wall in the backyard. Once blooming has concluded for the season you can overwinter the plant indoors, with the option of planting it in the ground in spring (or right away in early fall in temperate areas). The long-lasting flowers are excellent for cut flower arrangements. Change the water, clean the vase, and recut flower stems every couple of days for longer lasting flowers. Mix and match with mums of different colors and sizes. Mums look delightful with those other hallmarks of fall — pumpkins as well as ornamental gourds. Thrives best in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep soil moist, watering freely in dry weather. You can fertilize every other week during the growing season.
