Fall Gardening Focuses on Bulbs and Blooms
Mums are "short day plants," producing flower buds when the days are shorter than the nights. There are some new varieties, however, that will form flowers under any day length. Check with your local garden center.
Plant mums at least 6 weeks before a killing frost so that their roots have time to become established. Be careful with their stems; they can be quite brittle.
