Ep. 58 - Mum's the Word: Growing mums in the garden.
This Garden Talk Tuesday we’re digging into growing a favorite fall decoration of many people – mums or, more accurately, chrysanthemums. Now you absolutely can grow these fall flowers in your garden year-round but you need to know what you’re planting. Is it possible to plant the mums you get from your garden center and have them come back each year? The answer is: it depends. Knowing the difference between a garden or hardy mum and a nursery or florist mum is going to make all the difference here. So, we’ll talk about propagating your own mums, whether it’s from seed or from cuttings, when and where it’s possible to plant potted nursery mums in the garden and have them be perennial, overwintering your mums and we’ll talk about what’s different about Belgian mums.
So, for this week’s episode, mum’s the word!
