Here's a look at some of the other varieties of mums we've grown for this season.

| Terano White Belgian Mum, September 24, 2010 |
It's not easy to find a mum with a pure white bloom, but that's what we've got with the 'Terano' Belgian Mums that we grow. These are a little bit later-blooming variety than the rest, but they are well worth the wait! They measure in at 7 1/2-inches tall as of September 24.

| Urano Orange Belgian Mum, September 24, 2010 |
The 'Urano Orange' is the earlier-blooming variety of the two orange mums that we grow. Many of our 'Urano Orange' mums are dotted with bright orange buds, and they are really selling well. They measure 8 1/2-inches tall, on average, as of September 24.
You can see the number of buds beginning to open in the photo below. The photo at the top of this page, is a closeup of one of the 'Urano Orange' blooms.

| Urano Yellow Belgian Mum, September 24, 2010 |
The 'Urano' varieties of Belgian Mums are some of the earlier-blooming varieties that we grow. These 'Urano Yellow' Belgian Mums haven't begun to show any color as of September 24, but it shouldn't be long. They are measuring 8 1/2-inches tall.
Belgian Mums are the kind of mums that come back every year. Best of all, when they come back next spring, they won't need to be pinched... ever! When you plant these Belgian Mums in the ground, be sure to place them in a location that receives at least a half day of sunlight, and in a place that drains well. The quickest way to kill one of these mums is to give it too much water. They don't like wet feet! And, give them plenty of room. Each of these mums will be at least twice it's current size when it comes back next year, and in many cases, they will be three times as large next year.
All of our Belgian Mums are grown in 10-inch pots,
and are priced at just $7.50 (plus tax) each.
