Garden Tip: Chrysanthemums, a classic fall flower
The crisp autumn temperatures herald the coming of football games, hayrides and mums! Chrysanthemums bring bright blossoms to our containers and gardens that last well into November.
The Growing Place offers almost 50 varieties of annual mums that are grown at their Aurora facilities.
With early, middle, late and season-extender varieties, you can enjoy mums for months. These plants most likely will not return each year; however, there are several cultivars of perennial mums that do.
Plant perennial mums soon to give them as much time as possible to send out roots. Place them in full sun with well-drained soil amended with compost. Keep removing the spent blossoms to encourage additional ones.
Wait until spring to cut back spent foliage. The stems and foliage will help insulate the plant through fluctuating winter temperatures.
Loosely cover mum stems with pine boughs, hay, straw or other non-matting material after the ground is frozen. This keeps the soil from thawing out too early in the spring and delays the emergence of new shoots until night frosts are less likely. By April, the plant can be cut back as low as possible, but if new spring growth is visible and a night frost is predicted, be sure to cover the plants.
