@villwocksoutdoorliving: 🌼 Want your mums to come back next year? Hardy mums can return year after year, but giving them time to get established before a Michigan winter can make a big difference! A few tips to give newly planted mums their best shot: ☀️ Choose a spot with 6+ hours of sun and good drainage 🌱 Get them in the ground early enough to establish roots 🍂 Add a layer of mulch after the ground begins to freeze to help protect those roots through winter Of course, variety, planting conditions, and our unpredictable Michigan winters can all play a role in whether they return.
