A few weeks back, I told you about those Proven Winners hanging baskets I got for $10. Those were $40 baskets! They are looking lovely, but need another deadheading soon, just because I'm fussy about hanging baskets looking as good as they can.
Anyhow, I was at my Walmart Garden Center earlier this week, and they had 9-packs of 4" Chrysanthemum for $10.97. That's $1.22 each! I bought the rusty orange, but they also had white - I'll probably go back. So, I potted them up individually into (recycled) 8" pots now to grow on for late Summer/Fall decor. Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons. Summer is nothing but WORK around here!
So, I'll have NINE Mums to tuck in here and there (and to share) where other potted things are failing and it will be Mum-O-Ramma at my house this fall. NINE Mums for about $11.00! Try buying ONE Mum for that price when they're in season later this year! SCORE! I saw a similar pack at Lowe's too, so look for bargains on those smaller Mums when you see them!
