Gigi™ Yellow is a garden mum with a lovely mounded habit and abundant bright yellow flowers. Unlike many other garden mums, its sturdy stems are not prone to brittleness. It blooms in mid-September in the Midwest and Eastern United States. Garden mums are a great addition to the fall garden, providing vibrant color when few other plants are in bloom. They can be planted in perennial gardens or containers on the front porch.

Homeowner Growing Tips
Plant in full sun in well-draining soil. Water well, keeping in mind that rain or overhead sprinklers may not get much water down past the thick foliage to the soil, especially in a container. For the best chance of perennializing garden mums, be sure to plant as early as possible, especially in colder zones. They are slow to root, so need plenty of time to establish themselves before the ground freezes or they can tend to heave out of the soil over the winter.
Are Mums Perennials or Annuals?
Chrysanthemums, commonly known as garden mums, can be perennial in the zones listed above.
However, we find that most mums do not perennialize and therefore, we consider them to be more of a cold tolerant annual.
