Mobile Phone Review http://thephantomwriters.com/free_content/db/b/yellow-mums-are-in-fall-fashion.shtml Yellow Mums Are In Fashion For The Fall Copyright © 2006-2008 Wesley Berry, AAF Each year in the fall people trade in their bright summer flowers for warmly colored fall plants and flowers. Year after year, the most popular fall flower choice is the chrysanthemum, or mum for short. In 2005, yellow was the color of fashion for the potted mum. According to statistics released by the Society of American Florists (SAF), yellow mums were the most popular of all the color choices available for mums. Of all the mums sold last year, 26 percent of them were yellow. Other colors included: Purple/Violet - 22 percent. Bronze/Rust - 12 percent. Mixed Colors - 12 percent. White - 10 percent. Red/Crimson - 8 percent. Pink - 5 percent. Orange - 3 percent. Other - 2 percent. Most people purchase new mums every year because of space constraints in their flowerbeds. But, if you have the space, it is possible to over-winter them for use the next year. Since mums are a hardy plant, they'll fare well even if you need to move them to another location in the spring to make room for your summer blooms. Just be sure to move them to a sunny location, like the end of your vegetable garden. To over-winter your mums, take off all the faded blooms, but do not trim the stems. Even if you don't plan to leave the mums where they are during the spring and summer months, don't move them once they've passed their peak. Doing so leaves them especially vulnerable to heaving as the ground freezes, which exposes the roots to the cold and will kill the plant. Instead, leave them where they are and place some straw, pine boughs, or light mulch around them to help protect the roots during the cold winter months. In the spring when the plants begin to grow again, remove any dead foliage from the plants and move the straw (or other material) out of the way very carefully. Dig up the plants and move them to their summer location. The summer location should have soil that is of good quality and that drains well. Once you've replanted the mums, give them a bit of fertilizer to help the roots grow. In the fall, you can dig them up and move them back to their former location. Mums help to add a lovely bit of fall fashion and curbside appeal to our homes during the fall month. And, since they're an easy plant to grow, there's no reason you can't keep your mum plants growing strong year after year.
