GETTING YOUR HARDY MUMS TO RETURN NEXT YEAR

PLANT THEM AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE

SELECT PLANTS THAT ARE NOT IN BLOOM YET

PLANT THEM A LITTLE DEEPER THAN YOU WOULD PLANT PERENNIALS

TEASE OPEN OR CUT OPEN TANGLED ROOT SYSTEM BEFORE PLANTING

FERTILIZE WITH ROOT STIMULATOR TO PROMOTE ROOT DEVELOPMENT

WHEN BLOOMS ARE SPENT, CUT BACK LIGHTLY, THIS WILL ALSO HELP WITH ROOT DEVELOPMENT

MULCH WITH STRAW OR EXTRA MULCH (NOT LEAVES)FOR WINTER PROTECTION

IN JAN/FEB/MARCH, CHECK FOR LIFTING OF PLANT, PRESS BACK INTO GROUND IF LIFTED, REMULCH IF NECESSARY.

BE PATIENT, MUMS TAKE A LONG TIME TO SHOW UP IN SPRING

NEW GROWTH WILL COME AT  SOIL LINE, NOT THE DEAD STEMS, WHICH CAN BE SNAPPED OFF WHEN YOU SEE NEW GROWTH

DO NOT DIG UP AND MOVE UNTIL THEY ARE WELL ESTABLISHED IF YOU INTEND ON RELOCATING THEM TO ANOTHER GARDEN

KEEP MUMS BUDS PINCHED OFF UNTIL MID JULY TO STAVE OFF BLOOMING UNTIL FALL
