Question 3

Can I grow mums in a home garden?

Yes, chrysanthemums can grow in the home garden. They are heavy feeders placed in well-drained soil. They are hardy to 27 degrees, mulching over winter or covering a freeze cloth. Do not cover it with plastic.

Your Chrysanthemum does NOT require fertilizer in October. Once a bud begins to show a little color ( usually in October), the nitrogen in the fertilizer could ROT the bloom.
