Perennial Mums |
Garden Harvest Supply is proud to offer a quality lineup of true perennial garden mums. Hardiness in mums can be improved by proper care which includes keeping the soil moist. Plant in a sunny, well drained location, incorporate 2 to 4” of peat moss, compost or well-rotted manure. Mums respond well to frequent applications of water soluble fertilizers such as Neptune’s Harvest. Mums are very heavy feeders up to the time the buds are the size of small peas. Mums should not be fertilized after they show color in the fall, fall fertilizing will negatively affect winter hardiness. Trim mums back to within 4-6 inches from the ground after Thanksgiving and apply a protective covering of loose material on the plants after the ground has frozen. Minnesota perennial mums should be divided every 3 years. Read about our plant guarantee on the Shipping Policy page. |
