Mums just might be the unofficial flower of fall, and we love them for it! They bloom like crazy, putting on a cheerful show of color without demanding much from you in return. Just pop them in a sunny spot, keep them watered, and pluck off the spent blooms (think of it as giving them a little haircut). Do that, and they’ll reward you with even more flowers.
A lot of folks treat mums as annuals, but here’s a little gardening secret: they’re actually perennials! That means they’ll put on their big performance every fall and might even surprise you with a spring encore.
When it comes to decorating, mums are the ultimate team players. Line them along your porch, tuck them into outdoor living spaces, or spread them all around your garden. With colors like white, yellow, bronze, red, purple, and more, there’s a shade for every style.
And if you really want to kick your fall décor up a notch, pair your mums with crotons, pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, and cornstalks. (Good news: our pumpkins, hay bales, and cornstalks will be arriving next week, so your porch will be Pinterest-worthy in no time!)
We’ve got a wide selection of mums in all sizes and colors ready to go. Stop by soon and let’s get your fall decorating started!
