Using Venus Purple Hardy Mums in Your Landscape
Hardy mums bring an instant layer of color and texture to porches, patios, entryways, and sunny garden beds. Style them on their own for a bold sweep of color, or pair them with ornamental grasses, kale, pansies, pumpkins, and other fall favorites.
Containers
Create a full, welcoming burst of fall color near doors, steps, and patios.
Garden Beds
Tuck hardy mums and asters into sunny borders and seasonal landscape plantings.
Fall Pairings
Combine them with grasses, cabbage and kale, pansies, pumpkins, and evergreen accents.
Caring for Your Venus Purple Hardy Mum
Give your Venus Purple Hardy Mum plenty of sun, consistent moisture, and well-drained soil. Check containers frequently during warm or windy weather, since established plants can dry out quickly while in full bloom.
Hardy mums and asters can return in Kansas City gardens when planted early enough to establish roots before winter. Perennial performance can vary based on planting time, drainage, moisture, and winter conditions.
