FREE: Yellow Mums 10+

I have had questions on how to grow these, so here's what I found...

Mums take up to four months to flower from seed, so it is best to give the seedlings a head start by sowing them indoors in early spring. Start the seeds roughly eight weeks before the last spring frost, which is mid-February within Mediterranean climates. The seeds can also be started outdoors anytime from after the last spring frost until two months before the first autumn frost. However, the seeds germinate less reliably when sown outdoors due to temperature and moisture fluctuations in the soil.

Light exposure is key to successfully germinating mum seeds, so they must be sown at the appropriate depth. Sow two or three seeds in each pot by lightly pressing them onto the surface of the soil. Spread a very thin layer of soil on top so they are covered but still somewhat exposed to the light. Dry soil may shift during watering, so mist the surface with a spray bottle and gently tamp it down to increase contact with the seeds.
