- Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0, prefers well-drained, fertile soil
- Enrich soil with compost and a balanced fertilizer to enhance growth and bloom production

Watering Specifics:

- Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods

Arrived healthy

Arrived in great condition. Doing great in the garden.

From Carol | December 20, 2020

Amazing Mum

I am in amazement everytime I look at the majestic Quarterback Perrenial mum. The color takes on a beautiful shaded effect of reddish brown. One of my cuttings measures over 4 inches in diameter. I will definitely order more next season. Grow Joy is the best website for all plants!

Very Happy With Purchase

I purchased these Quarterback Perennial Mums this past spring. All the plants I ordered were remarkably packaged for shipment and received in excellent condition. The size of the blossoms are quite large. I could never find anything at my local nursery that would compare in size or color to the mums I ordered from GrowJoy. The plant is quite beautiful.

Perennial Mums already sending up buds!

I received these mums just a week ago and they are already sending up buds - I had expected them to remain dormant for a while before getting acclimated. Love GrowJoy, always healthy plants!

From Kimberly | June 01, 2014

MUMENTOUS MUMS!

Awesome! I order a total of 48 perennial mums in four varieties. Each plant is specially packaged in its own special plastic container - they arrived in a timely basis, and they are now in the ground after getting good soaking. Each plant looked healthy!

Quarterback Perennial Mum Plant

I purchased these plants last year and they had some lovely blooms last fall. Although it is still too early for blooms this year, they are growing so nicely that I ordered more of them.
