Heirloom Chrysanthemum Plants | Fall Garden Blooms

LATE-SEASON BEAUTY

Heirloom Chrysanthemums

Extend your garden's glory into fall with heirloom chrysanthemums. Unlike typical store-bought mums, these unique varieties offer distinctive forms, rich colors, and exceptional vase life of two weeks or more.

Blooming from mid-September through November when most flowers have finished, chrysanthemums bring vibrant beauty to the season's end and make stunning long-lasting cut flowers.

Each plant order includes two established cuttings with strong, healthy root systems ready for planting.

Online sales will open March 12. Items will be marked sold out until that time

Late Season Blooms

Mums are photoperiodic, they bloom when the days shorten. These flowers bloom mid September into October and November when light levels are too low and temperatures are too cool for other flowers. This means that depending on your season length, you may need to grow these plants in a greenhouse, hoop house or under cover to protect from freezing temperatures.

Cold Tolerant

Mums are hardy to cool temperatures, I have found my plants can handle some light frosts in the greenhouse and continue
blooming into late November with some occasional nighttime heating in our greenhouse here in zone 3.

Winter Care

If you live in an area with hard frosts, after mums have finished producing, cut them back to 6 inches, dig them up, and store
them in soil-filled pots in a frost-free place such as a basement, garage, or cold-room. Water occasionally. Bring them out of cold storage in early spring to start and take cuttings as desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

As most of our items are perishable goods (plants, flowers, seeds, tubers, etc.), they cannot be returned. But please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific order.

We strive to process orders within 1–2 days. Shipping with Canada Post is usually within 2–7 days. Dahlia tubers will ship when weather permits. No international shipping at this time.

Your flowers have been harvested with great care and can last even longer with a little more care. Start by quickly rinsing stems to remove trapped dirt or leaves that may get into the vase water. Use a clean vase to prevent stems (which act like straws) from getting clogged. Change the vase water daily if possible (or every other day). This prevents bacteria buildup that decreases flower life. Feel free to use a purchased floral food in the vase water or make your own with 1 drop bleach, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp sugar pre-dissolved in the water. Keep your bouquets out of direct sun and away from ripening fruit. Warm homes and the ethylene gas from fruit decrease flower vase life. You can also try to perk up a recently wilted flower by re-cutting its stem and letting it sit in cooler water up to its neck for a few hours to help relieve a clogged stem from dirt or bacteria.

Ideally you will get a week or more out of your beautiful bouquet before it's ready to compost and you are ready for a new one to bring beauty and joy.

Unfortunately, no. Once an order has been placed, we cannot add or subtract any items. If you wish to add an item, please place a separate order. We can combine orders if you note it in the notes section on the 2nd order. Choose local pickup for the 2nd order so you are not charged shipping twice. It is also helpful to send us an email letting us know to combine orders.

No, but you can make arrangements with someone in your life to take over your subscription. Perhaps you wish to gift the remainder of the subscription to a friend. Just email us or Instagram message us to let us know someone else will be picking up the subscription. We are also able to provide you with a makeup date if you give us notice of any planned holidays when you are unable to pick up your bouquet. At least four days' notice must be given by email/Instagram message.

Not as part of our subscription service, but you may be interested in purchasing custom bouquets. Please contact us for details. Custom bouquets start at $50, which allows you to request certain tones or types of dahlias or other flowers we may have blooming at the time.
