Igloo Frosty Mum

• Hardy Perennial Garden Mum : Plant size and bloom stage will vary at time of purchase. Spring grown mums will be quite a bit smaller at first, but will continue to grow to their mature size by fall.  Mature size: 2' Tall x 2'-3' Wide, Bright White blooms

• Plant Right Away: For optimal root growth and winter resilience, plant your mum as soon as possible in well drained soil and fertilize until buds appear. Early planting encourages strong, healthy roots.

• Bloom Times: This variety can potentially bloom twice a year—once in late May/early June and again in September/October. Bloom time may vary based on day length, as mums are sensitive to light and require shorter days to trigger blooming.

• Cut Back in June/July: To maintain a dense plant, simply cut the plant about one-third to half way back. This should be done 1-3 times no later than July 4th to ensure it will bloom in the fall.

• Consistent Moisture: Ensure the plant receives consistent moisture to prevent wilting. Check the soil moisture by digging 1-2 inches into the soil at the base of the plant. Rainfall is not always enough depending on the location your mum is planted and how dense the foliage is. 

• Water at the Base: Water the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry, as wet leaves can lead to disease.
