Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers well drained soil. Water newly planted mums thoroughly. Avoid letting plants wilt. Once established water enough to keep moist, but not wet. If bottom leaves start to turn brown, water more often. Water soil, not plant to avoid disease. Should be treated as an annual, however; marginally hardy for northern zone and will occassionally winter over with winter protection or good snow cover.
