New Mum Intros From California Spring Trials 2017

Posted by Janeen Wright|September 27, 2017

For fall gardening product selection, you can’t go wrong with offering mums. Chrysanthemum blooms stick around for weeks, providing vivid color in the garden long after summer blooming plants have faded. With their tidy, mounded habits, garden mums are perfect for mass impact in the landscape, or they make great container plants. Best of all, with several new varieties to choose from, there is a mum to meet every customer’s need, whether it’s for a stand-out bloom size, short response time, mixed color combo, or as a season extender. Here are a few of the new introductions that we saw at California Spring Trials 2017 that will make their retail debut in 2018.
