Chrysanthemums are also known as mums!
Mums are a great fall plant to add to your landscape during this time of year. Most homeowners tend to put their flowering mums in pots and keep them on the porch, but they also can be planted. To keep these mums looking fresh, it is best to keep them in full sun, or minimum of 6 hours a day and keep them watered. It is best to water them daily as they do quickly wilt if not given enough water. It is best to keep mums in soil that drains well as they have small roots. There are many color options as mums can give your landscape that nice bright pop during this time of year.
Limitless options of Petunias!
Petunias are a popular annual option to plant in your flower beds at this time of year. With many color options, your landscape can be designed perfectly with petunias. It is best to plant petunias in the full sun as not enough sun will not let them bloom. These plants also love the heat, but not so much of the humidity.
