Yoder Mums

Throughout North America, Yoder Garden Mums are known and appreciated as the plant for fall blooming. Untold millions of garden mums are planted each spring, summer and fall. Due to their excellent growth habits and wide range of colors and flower forms, Yoder Garden Mums are the most popular of all chrysanthemums.


As long as your Yoder Mums have good drainage, they are not picky about soil. They will often bloom prolifically without any fertilizer, but growth is normally better if you mulch them lightly in early summer with well-rotted manure or rich compost, or fertilize them each month with a balanced fertilizer until the flower buds form.


To grow stocky, heavy-flowering Yoder Mums, pinching back the growing tips is essential. Pinch off the top 1 to 2-inches of growth when plants are 6 to 9-inches high; repeat every three to five weeks until early August.


Winter Protection for Yoder’s Garden Mums:

  • Keep your garden mums' soil moist as winter approaches.
  • There is no need to prune back plants until the following spring.
  • Mulch the plants after several hard frosts with straw or evergreen branches.
  • In the spring, remove any dead stems and gradually remove the mulch.
