Growing and Maintenance Tips
Grow Mammoth Mums in average well drained soil in full sun to light shade. They do not require pinching, pruning or deadheading. If desired they can be pinched in June to keep the plant more compact. They will take at least two seasons to reach their mature height and width. A mulch to conserve moisture and prevent the hot sun from baking the roots of the plants is highly recommended
