Nothing says fall quite like mums! With their full blooms and beautiful autumn colours, mums are a favourite for adding instant seasonal colour to gardens, porches and planters.
But if you’re looking for mums that can offer more than just one season of colour, hardy mums are a great choice.
Unlike mums that are primarily grown for temporary fall displays, hardy mums are perennial varieties selected to withstand colder temperatures and return year after year when planted in the right conditions.
They’re perfect for garden beds, borders and anywhere you’d like a burst of late-season colour.
Plant Them Early
If you want your hardy mums to return next year, getting them into the ground sooner rather than later gives them the best chance to establish a strong root system before winter.
Choose a spot with plenty of sunshine and well-draining soil, and keep them consistently watered while they settle in.
A Little Winter Protection Goes a Long Way
Once the colder weather arrives, add a generous layer of mulch around your mums to help protect their roots through winter. Leaving the stems in place until spring can also provide a little extra protection.
Once temperatures warm up again, trim away the old growth and watch for fresh new shoots!
Beautiful Fall Colour, Year After Year
Hardy mums bring all the colour and charm we love about fall, with the bonus of becoming part of your perennial garden.
From rich reds and warm oranges to sunny yellows, pinks and creamy whites, there’s a mum for every fall garden.
