Hardy Mums

 

Whiteford Greenhouse offers 43 varieties of daisy and decorative flowering hardy Mums. They bloom in just about every color of the rainbow; bronze, yellow, coral, white, orange, red, purple, lavender & pink. We grow many different forced and natural timed blooming groups of Mums, blooming during weeks 37-42. Timing the bloom time of fresh new plants ensures beautiful fall color for 4-6 plus weeks during September 11 through Mid to late October in to early November.

 

 

 

 

 

 

mum-7Tips for Mum SUCESS!

  • Plant your new mums ASAP (the more time in the ground the better)
  • Choose a FULL sun location (6 hours or more)
  • When planting; loosen soil around the roots and in ground (This will help your Fall-planted Mum establish roots before winter arrives)
  • After blooming (usually late November) cut back your mums 3-4 inches from the base of the plant, and cover loosely with mulch or leaves.
  • In spring after last frost remove mulch/leaves and water, allowing for regrowth and blooms to develop.
  • Cut back through out spring and early summer to ensure fall blooming (last cut back for fall blooms keep at, 6″ high on the 4th of July.)

 

 

 

 

Cabbage

Ornamental Cabbage & Kale

Electric purple and snow white veined through frosty shades of blue green, offer eye-popping fall and winter color. Cabbage and Kale is the best option to fill your patio pots and window boxes during the cooler fall months. Thriving in near freezing temperatures the cooler it gets outside, the more vibrant the purple and white centers and veins of the cabbage and kale will become. The gorgeous colors will last you until you are ready to fill your pots with fresh boughs and branches for your winter holiday decor.
