Better Homes & Gardens 1.5G Purple White and Yellow Mum Combination Live Plant

Chrysanthemums, lovingly known as mums for short, set the decorating tone for autumn. This 10" combination planter of mums provides memorable late-season splashes of purple, yellow, and white for all your fall decorating, which you won’t soon forget. The flower show doesn’t really get started until after you receive your planter, which is by design and means a longer flowering period for you. Feature the beautiful blooms on the patio, by your front door, or on an outdoor dining table. No need to pinch the blooms. Once blooming has concluded for the season you can overwinter the plant indoors, with the option of planting it in the ground in spring (or right away in early fall in temperate areas). The long-lasting flowers are excellent for cut flower arrangements. Change the water, clean the vase, and recut flower stems every couple of days for longer lasting flowers. Mix and match with mums of different colors and sizes. Mums look delightful with those other hallmarks of fall — pumpkins as well as ornamental gourds. Thrives best in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep soil moist, watering freely in dry weather. You can fertilize every other week during the growing season. These featured varieties show greater disease resistance.
