Thanks Tom It won't grow well indoors, unless you have an ideal environment. You have a much better chance growing mums outdoors and pruning/fertilizing them as directed. Most people add the mums to the compost pile (or toss them out) after blooming. |

Harty Mum Question
Depending upon where you live, I have seen mums planted outside and they do
quite well as long as they are watered properly. In zone 7 (Arkansas) they did very well, and I have had good luck with them here in zone 5 (Kansas). I think the colors change after the first or second year, but that might be because our soil pH is close to neutral. They might like more acid. Dwayne wrote in message ups.com...

They'll also (usually) survive winters in Western NY (zones 5/6) if planted up against the foundation of the house or other structure that retains heat and has a southern exposure. Your mileage may vary. |

Harty Mum Question
Hey Ingrid, That's exactly what happened to ours! It bloomed
(sparsely) the next year then bit the dust, just like my poinsettia. When taken from an ideal greenhouse environment, they just barely thrive.

odder yet, mine do fabulously well the following year (if they survive at all) and
THEN they disappear. Ingrid On Mon, 22 Oct 2007 20:51:41 GMT, Phisherman wrote: Hey Ingrid, That's exactly what happened to ours!
