🌼 DON’T throw away your mums when they stop blooming!
Those brown, crispy flowers don’t necessarily mean your mum is finished. If the foliage underneath is still healthy, it may have plenty of life left. 🌱
Here’s what to do:
🌱 Plant it in the ground instead of tossing it.
☀️ Choose a sunny spot with at least half a day of sun. Full sun is even better.
✂️ Remove the faded blooms, but don’t cut the entire plant back right away. Wait until a hard freeze turns it brown, then trim it down to a few inches above the soil.
Here in Delaware, mums can be a beautiful addition to the garden beyond just one fall season. 🌼🍂
