Chrysanthemum 'Belgian Mums© Conella Yellow'

Homeowner Growing Tips: Plant in full sun in well-draining soil. Water well, keeping in mind that rain or overhead sprinklers may not get much water down past the thick foliage to the soil, especially in a container. For the best chance of perennializing garden mums, be sure to plant as early as possible, especially in colder zones. They are slow to root, so need plenty of time to establish themselves before the ground freezes or they can tend to heave out of the soil over the winter.
