Are Potted Mums Worth Growing on a Flower Farm?

Mums have become one of my favorite fall crops—not just because they’re beautiful, but because they fit naturally into our schedule and pair perfectly with our pumpkins. In fact, they’ve helped us extend our season, attract more customers, and offer that “one-stop shop” fall experience people love.

So in this video I'm sharing:
🌼 The pros & cons of growing mums
🌼 How we time blooms for peak sales
🌼 Our drip irrigation & fertilizing setup
🌼 Tips for selling mums in a competitive market

If you liked my video on why we grow pumpkins, this is the perfect follow-up—because mums + pumpkins are the foundation of our fall season. 🍂
