Description

Annual mums (Chrysanthemum spp.) deliver dense clusters of richly hued flowers in shades of amber, bronze and deep burgundy—perfect for autumnal flair. They perform best in full sun and well-drained soil enriched with compost. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist; pinch back new shoots until midsummer to promote bushier growth and abundant flowering. Design tip: plant mums in decorative pots on your porch or mix with ornamental grasses and dusty miller for a festive fall vignette that carries through cooler nights.
