Mums (Chrysanthemum)
Chrysanthemums, or “mums,” are the classic fall favorite, known for their dense mounds of color and long-lasting blooms. With shades ranging from warm yellows and oranges to purples, reds, and whites, they bring instant seasonal style to porches, patios, and garden beds.
Easy to grow and full of impact, mums are ideal for containers, mass plantings, or refreshing summer-tired landscapes. They’re a simple way to extend the color season right up until frost.
