This fall favorite sets the decorating tone for autumn. Chrysanthemums, often called mums, provide memorable late-season splashes of color for all your fall decorating, which you won’t soon forget. With yellow and pink flowers that resemble pure autumn, these blooms are situated in a fall pumpkin and appear from mid to late September through October, atop green foliage. Place the bloom-filled container on your steps, path, or patio to highlight its vibrant display. The flower show begins once you receive your plant, which is designed to ensure a longer flowering period for you. After the blooming season ends, you can overwinter the plant indoors or plant it in the ground in spring (or early fall in temperate areas). The long-lasting flowers are also excellent for cut flower arrangements. For longer-lasting flowers, change the water, clean the vase, and recut the stems every couple of days. Mix and match mums of different colors and sizes to create a delightful fall display alongside pumpkins and ornamental gourds. Mums thrive best in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist and water freely in dry weather. You can fertilize every other week during the growing season.
