Igloo Brilliant is a perfect for those looking to add a traditional yellow mum to their perennial garden beds. These Igloo mums are winter hardy down to zone 5 and have a height of up to 2 feet and a width of up to 2.5 feet at maturity. These will be excellent additions to your garden, as they come back year after year! Igloo mums bloom in September in pots, but once in a perennial bed, they often will bloom in the summer and again in the fall, with proper care! Caring for your mums: Our mums are grown in natural conditions in Lincoln, NE, meaning their bloom time will be true to their genetics - we don’t use chemicals or black cloth to ‘trick’ the plant into blooming sooner or later. We will strive to sell mums as they are budding, or before the full blooms appear, ensuring that you get to enjoy your mums for their entire blooming life. Keep the plant in the sunlight for blooms to appear at their proper time! Consistent watering is key for the mums. We recommend keeping the soil moist each day and watering the plant underneath the foliage in an effort to keep the flowers and leaves dry and to reach the base of the plant. Additionally, deadhead (remove from the stem) the dry/dead mum blossoms to keep the plant putting energy into producing new blooms and looking fresh! Under ideal conditions, your potted mum should bloom for 4-8 weeks! Fulfillment: Mums can be picked up from our farm (10113 Pioneers in Lincoln) at a designated pick up times. Because mums are grown outside and thus subject to mother nature, there is always a small risk that mums could succumb to the elements. If one or several of your mums perish prior to delivery or pick up, a refund will be given for those that don’t make it to your porch!
