Text Box: Chrysanthemums or ‘Mums’ are a stalwart of the autumn garden. With varieties hardy in most climates and their ability to be pinched and forced to bloom at the end of the season, these jewel toned beauties make a welcome splash in the garden when most summer bloomers have begun to fade. Bloom times vary with variety and climate, from early September through mid-October. Mums need at least a half day of sun for good bloom, but full sun is best. Mums set buds in response to day length, so avoid confusing them by planting where they may be exposed to bright night time light. Mums are best planted before the cold October nights set in to allow them to become established. They prefer a rich, well-drained soil, slightly on the alkaline side. Feeding every 3-4 weeks until buds are set will improve flowering. To promote a sturdy, bushier plant with lots of blooms next spring, pinch off the top 1 to 2 inches

Text Box: of growth once taller varieties are at least 6 inches high; shorter varieties, 4 to 5 inches high. Continue pinching the tips every 3 - 4 weeks until early July in cooler climates, the end of July in warmer zones. Deadheading is only necessary in warmer climates, where the plants remain green throughout the growing seasons. In areas that experience freezing winters, allowing the old foliage to remain until spring helps the plants survival. During cold, snowless winters, mulching will be necessary. If mums have not been hardy in your area, you could try potting them and moving them to a more protected area of the garden for the winter and return them to their intended spot in the spring. Always try to maintain a good level of moisture in the soil especial after planting. Established mums can be dug and divided in spring, every 2 - 3 years as necessary.

Text Box: Fall Reminder: * Great time to plant trees and shrubs ! * Continue to cut back perennials as they go dormant or out of flower. * Get ready to plant spring flowering bulbs like tulips & daffodils. * Apply Weed-N-Feed to the lawn.
