How to Buy The Best Mums: Buying Guide

Most people think of mums as the quintessential fall flowers, just as they think of poinsettias for the holidays. However, that isn’t all mums are known for! Mums come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. When they are freshly cut, they make a fantastic choice for adding bulk to a bouquet. The form and hardiness of most mums make them an ideal flower to add texture and movement to arrangements.

Not only are mums perfect filler flowers, but they are also less expensive than some of their bouquet counterparts. Some of our best seller mums pair perfectly in bouquets alongside asters or roses. Some varieties of mums Sam’s Club offers are:

• Spider mums
• Football mums
• Lollipop mums
• Magnum mums
• Garden mums

FAQ: Mums

Can mums be poisonous to animals?

They can be! If your pet eats too many mums, the animal can develop an upset stomach or skin irritation. If you suspect your pet has ingested any mums, contact your veterinarian immediately.

How do I take care of my mums?

Mums are a robust and sturdy flower, but they still need a little TLC. Generously water your mums, especially when they are in bloom. The bloom time will vary per plant, so monitor your flowers for optimal water and soil drainage. The soil should always be well-drained and make sure you remove faded blooms when they turn brown or curl.
