Fall Mums
When most people think of a Fall
blooming flower, they usually think of mums first. There are
some great perennial mums, like the Mammoth mums, bred by the
University of MN that are the hardiest ones available, but these
need to be planted before mid September to give them the best chance
of surviving our winters.
Most mums can be treated as Fall
decoration, by placing them anywhere you want a splash of color,
like your front door. All of our mums are netted (almost
invisible nylon net), so they won't break open with the first
rainfall. With cool, fall weather they can last several weeks
to almost a month.
We grow a number of different
varieties in the same color, since they all bloom at different
times. So, you can always find a yellow, orange/bronze or red
in color during the months of September & October.
