The Three Company Live Flowering Hardy Chrysanthemum - Red, 2 Plants per Pack, 3 Qt Pots, 13" Tall, Fall-Blooming

These are two live, hardy red chrysanthemum plants sold as a pack—ready to bloom in fall and brighten patios, planters, or garden beds.

Bring seasonal color to porches, containers, or landscape borders with The Three Company’s Live Flowering Hardy Chrysanthemum — Red. Each pack contains two vigorous mums grown in 3-quart pots and shipped directly from the greenhouse so you receive plants that are actively blooming and ready to display. These compact plants sit about 13 inches tall with an approximate 12-inch spread at delivery and can mature larger with proper care.

How will these mums perform in my garden or on a balcony?

Hardy chrysanthemum varieties are bred to handle cool autumn temperatures and still produce abundant blooms. They prefer sunny locations and well-draining soil, making them ideal for raised beds, large containers, or grouped plantings near walkways.

• Expect immediate fall color from actively flowering plants shipped in 3-quart pots.
• Full sun encourages denser foliage and more blooms; part shade will delay or reduce flowering.
• Can be moved into protected spots to extend bloom life during early frosts.

What care routine helps these chrysanthemums thrive?

Caring for these mums is straightforward: consistent moisture, good drainage, and plenty of light are the basics. Regular deadheading of spent flowers keeps the plants looking tidy and can encourage additional blooms through the season.

• Water evenly so the soil stays moist but not waterlogged; avoid letting roots sit in standing water.
• Use a well-draining potting mix or garden soil amended with organic matter for containers.
• Pinch or remove faded flowers to promote prolonged flowering; no special fertilizer is required, but balanced feedings can boost vigor.

Will these mums come back next year and how large can they grow?

These hardy chrysanthemums are perennials in many climates and can return the next season when planted in the ground and given winter protection. Unpotted, mature plants can reach up to about 24 inches tall and spread close to 24 inches under ideal conditions.

• Planting in-ground and mulching before winter improves overwinter survival in suitable zones.
• When kept in pots, bring them to sheltered locations or treat as seasonal annuals if winter conditions are harsh.
• Regular division every few years maintains plant health and controls size.

How do I use these mums to create instant seasonal displays?

Two potted red mums make an instant, low-effort focal point for porches, steps, or mixed autumn containers. Pair them with ornamental grasses, pumpkins, or contrasting foliage plants for layered texture and color that lasts through fall.

• Group the two pots on either side of an entry for symmetrical curb appeal.
• Combine with neutral-toned grasses and gourds for a balanced fall vignette.
• Place near walkways or patios for close-up enjoyment of the blooms and color.

Who is this for: Gardeners and decorators seeking immediate autumn color without the wait, homeowners who want easy-care container plants for porches and patios, and gift-givers looking for a meaningful seasonal present. These Live Flowering Hardy Chrysanthemums suit both beginners and experienced gardeners who want reliable, greenhouse-grown mums that arrive ready to display.
