Garden State Growers 8" Hardy Mum Plant Annuals Flowers

The Garden State Growers Hardy Mum Plant is a perfect way to add color to your outdoor space. Don't fertilize plants set out in fall as annuals, but plants you hope to overwinter should get high-phosphorus fertilizer to stimulate root growth. Plants set out in spring should get a 5-10-10 fertilizer once or twice a month until cooler weather sets in. If the garden mum doesn't get enough sunlight, it will be tall and leggy and produce fewer, smaller flowers. The mum plant performs best in partial sun.

Choose a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day
Avoid soaking the foliage, which encourages disease
Mums thrive in well-drained soil
Heavy clay soil should be amended
If your yard is soggy after the slightest rain, grow garden mum in raised beds with friable soil for good root growth
If the soil is too dense, add compost and prepare to a depth of 8-12 in. for best performance
Mums' roots are shallow, and they don't like competition
Plant mums about 1 in. deeper than they were in the nursery pot, being careful with the roots as you spread them
Trim off the previous year's stems as soon as the new spring growth begins to show
Water the newly planted mum plant thoroughly, and never let it wilt
After they are established, give mums about 1 in. of water per week
When bottom leaves look limp or start to turn brown, water more often
