The kids are back in school and the cooler months are here. The plant material changes too. Pansies, violas, snapdragons, stock, nemesia, just to mention a few, all become top notch in the Fall. Most of these plants (especially pansies and violas) make great bulb cover.
Garden Mums (Chrysanthemum morifolium) are the crop that really signifies the season's change. The form and color range of garden mums gets better and better every year. This plant is a hardy perennial that will bloom throughout the fall, year after year. Different varieties and colors of Mums become available at Sloat every week and so you may not want to buy all you need at one time. The most important tip to growing the best mums? Be sure to pinch the plants back one or two times in the spring. This promotes a bushier plant with many more blooms. Though they are perennial, mums are a quick fix for fall color!
