Transplanting 100 Florist Mums: Yes, They'll Thrive in the Garden

Don't discard! Florist mums grow taller than garden types but transplant beautifully. Cut faded foliage to 3 inches, plant in sunny spot, mulch with pine straw. Shear to 4 inches in late May, 8 inches in mid-July. Masses of flowers by September.
