Football Mum Chrysanthemum Mix
Our Football Mum Mix is packed with bold, show-stopping blooms that are perfect for making a statement in your garden. Each box includes 5 heritage (also known as heirloom) mum plants, randomly selected from 10 striking varieties. You could get Heather James, Gertrude, Le Mans, Cream Jessie Habgood, Coral Cavalier, Nijin Bigo, Whiteout, Fairweather Yellow, Fort Smith, or Gillette. These oversized blooms are sometimes called "football mums" because of their popularity in creating elaborate corsages for high school football games in the 1950s and '60s, a true piece of heirloom nostalgia.
This box may include a mix of bloom times based on zone 6B/7A:
- Early: September 11 - October 21
- Mid: October 22 - November 3
- Late: November 4 - November 14 (or later)
