How to Identify Mums Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum), or mum for short, is among the most popular perennials for fall planting because mums are in full flower in October -- just when most plants are going to seed. Mums are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 - 9, but they are commonly grown as potted annuals. The flower color varies widely in every shade but blue, but mums are fairly easy to distinguish from other perennials by their growth habit, leaf type and flower structure.

Fill in around the plant's root ball, because you want potting soil, not air in contact with the roots. 2  Tamp down soil gently. 3  Give the pot a good water and add more soil wherever it's needed. 4  Lots of sun-Mums are sun-lovers, so make sure your pot gets at minimum, 4 hours of direct sun a day.

Feeding Hardy Mums Careful planning and implementation of a fertilizer program, combined with close observation, will ensure high-quality fall crops. Mums – as well as asters, ornamental cabbage and kale – are relatively heavy feeders. The mum plant canopy is primarily built during the vegetative stage of production (the first 1.5 months). If nutrients are lacking during this time, the mums will not achieve their full size or color potential. After flowers are formed, nutrient demand diminishes greatly. If you are using a water-soluble fertilizer (WSF) program, the key

Iris Fertilize bearded iris in early spring if a soil test shows that you need to add nutrients. As growth emerges, use a low nitrogen fertilizer watering it in well; and then fertilize again when the flower stem appears.

Fertilize hyacinths for best bloom Next spring, as new growth emerges, fertilize with a balanced 10-10-10 or 10-15-10. Leave foliage until it has completely yellowed. Hyacinths prefer moisture during their spring growth but drought during their summer rest, so avoid planting water-needy, summer-blooming annuals over these bulbs. When hyacinths are forced for indoor bloom, their roots are quite shallow.

How to Fertilize a Daffodil 1. Choose low-nitrogen fertilizers for your daffodils. Excessive levels of nitrogen promote lush foliage growth and reduce bloom numbers -- and may prevent flowering altogether. These plants prefer higher proportions of phosphorus and potassium, also known as potash.affodils aren’t heavy feeders, so they don’t require a lot of fertilizer. This is a happy coincidence for many who love growing these cheerful beauties. Light fertilization will produce healthier, happier daffies that will reward you with larger and more abundant blooms.
