Garden Mums (Chrysanthemum)
*Please specify your preferred colour in the checkout notes*
Nothing says fall quite like a pot full of colourful garden mums. As summer flowers begin to fade, garden mums bring an instant burst of seasonal colour to porches, patios, balconies, entryways and garden beds. Available in a range of rich autumn shades, mums are one of the easiest ways to refresh your outdoor spaces and embrace the changing season.
For gardeners looking ahead to fall, garden mums are one of the simplest ways to bridge the gap between late summer and the cooler months. Their vibrant flowers bring warmth and colour just when the landscape is beginning its seasonal transition.
Garden mums are especially valuable at this time of year because they provide immediate colour. Instead of waiting for a new planting to establish, an established mum can transform a tired-looking container or entrance in an instant. Choose plants with plenty of unopened buds for a display that continues to develop, or select plants already in full bloom when you want maximum impact right away.
Mums are incredibly versatile. Group several together for a bold monochromatic display, mix different colours for a traditional fall look, or combine them with ornamental grasses, foliage plants, pumpkins and other seasonal accents. Larger mums can also make beautiful standalone specimens in decorative containers.
Key Benefits
- Instant fall colour: Quickly refreshes patios, porches and garden spaces.
- Classic seasonal favourite: One of the most recognizable flowers of the fall garden.

Plant Care
Place garden mums in a location with plenty of sunlight. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, particularly when plants are in containers or during warm, dry weather.
Use mums individually in decorative pots or group several plants together for a fuller display. They also pair beautifully with ornamental grasses, trailing plants, pumpkins and other fall décor.
For the longest-lasting floral display, select plants with plenty of unopened buds and just a little colour showing.
