Mums (Chrysanthemum)

Mums (Chrysanthemum) 🍂 are the classic fall plant: a full, rounded mound of green covered in blooms. Ours come in orange or red, and they make a porch, patio or kitchen table look like fall right away. They like full sun to part sun and regular water; a pot full of blooms dries out fast, so check the soil often and don't let it wilt. Pro tip: pinch off spent flowers to keep it looking fresh longer ✂️. When it arrives, give it 2-4 weeks to settle in before you repot.

Sold in a 6" pot, in Orange or Red
