In case you haven’t noticed, we’re macro-enthusiast over here. It’s hard not to be with all the incredible Mum varieties of plants boasting big blooms and lush foliage. That said, we like to keep things interesting by highlighting new versions of old favorites instead of simply singing the praises of trusty standbys like geraniums or daylilies.
Graceful Grace
Graceful Grace is a beautiful plant with an air of sophistication. The name suits this variety well, as it grows into a small bush with long stems that are perfect for adding height and grace to your garden. It has pink flowers that bloom all summer long, making this variety a great choice for anyone who wants to add some color and beauty to their garden without having to worry about maintenance or care!
To learn more about planting and growing tips, read the full article below:
- What you need:
- A sunny location with plenty of room in your yard (or on your patio) where you can let it grow freely!
- At least 2 feet between plants if they’re planted 6 inches apart from each other like most other shrubs do — which means one plant per family member if there are just two people growing them together 🙂
Fashionista
If you’re looking for a new mum variety to grow, consider Fashionista. It’s a cross between two well-known varieties: the classic pink ‘Cannes’ and the white ‘Lavender Chimes.’ The result is a medium-sized plant with large, ruffled flowers in shades of lilac, purple and white (similar to an Easter egg). They’re perfect for cutting or displaying in vases—and they’ll also last longer than most other mums! This variety will thrive if planted in spring or early summer; if you plant it late in the season it may not bloom until next year.
Chic
Chic is a dark purple mum variety that has a very large flower. This makes it perfect for cutting and arranging in vases. This variety is easy to grow, and it will produce healthy plants with good resistance to disease. The Chic mum can grow up to 1 meter tall or more, depending on climate conditions and watering frequency.
Hocus Pocus
Hocus Pocus
A variety of mum that flowers from late September, to November. The height can vary between 30-60cm and they come in a range of colors such as red, pink, lilac, purple, and white. This variety grows best in partial shade but thrives in full sun if protected from strong winds. If you’re keen to grow this variety yourself we recommend planting it around mid-May or early June so that they have adequate time to establish before winter arrives
Divine
Divine is a beautiful, long-lasting mum variety that’s perfect for the garden. It’s hardy to zone 3 and has a long blooming period, making it ideal for spring gardens. Divine grows best in fertile soil with full sun exposure. You’ll know your Divine is ready when it starts to flower—the flowers will be an intense shade of peach against a creamy background color. The plant itself should be about two feet tall and wide by then, which makes it easy to see from all sides of your garden bed!
Whether you’re a seasoned mum grower or looking to try out growing mums for the first time, check out these new varieties.
- Mums are easy to grow.
- You don’t need a green thumb or gardening experience to grow mums, making them a great choice for beginners.
- Mums are hardy perennials that can survive the elements and come back year after year with minimal care on your part.
- You can find mums at most garden centers and nurseries in the fall months, so you won’t have trouble getting your hands on these easy-to-grow plants.
- If you have a small garden space, consider planting some of these new mum varieties because they grow only six to eight inches tall! The smaller size also makes them ideal for large gardens where space is limited or if you don’t want to spend too much time fussing over watering schedules or fertilizing your plants every few weeks like some other types of flowers require (e.g., roses).
