Fall means mums , and here in the Better Homes and Garden's test garden, we use them a lot to perk up the fall landscape. There are a number of ways that you can use mums in your fall garden. One is to plant them in the ground. If you do that, be sure that you have garden mums . Those will be hardy in your area and be sure that you plant them in a spot with full sun and well-drained soil. Mums hate to be constantly wet and they don't wanna be in much shade. You can also put mums directly in their pots that you've got them in at your local garden center. They make a great display on their own. Or, you can pot them up in a fancy container. Look at how fabulous this looks! And here's a shopping tip. Don't buy mums that are in their prime like this.
