Instruções detalhadas de cuidados
Display pots
Keep evenly moist and in full sun. Deadhead to extend the show.
In-ground
Plant hardy garden types in spring for best overwintering — not always the same as florist pots.

Pinch growing tips until early July (US) to encourage branching and more buds.
Winter
Mulch hardy cultivars after ground freezes. Many florist mums are not reliably perennial.
