How Tall Do Pot Mums Grow


Question
I recently bought several Pot Mums to use as a CenterPiece and then to plant outside.  I was wondering how tall they will get?  The tag doesn't specify.  I need to know this, so I can correctly pick a spot to plant them.  Thanks

Answer
Hi Kathy,
Thanx for your question.  Pot mums will generally stand about 15-18 inches tall.  Some are not hardy in certain zones.  The best thing to do to ensure vitality is to plant them outdoors in a hole a bit deeper than their current depth.  Side dress with composted manure and make sure they receive one inch of water per week.  They should be planted 30-45 days before the first frost.  It helps to break up the root ball and untangle any knotted roots.  The benefit from full sun but will grow in partial sun.  I hope this helps.
Tom
