Belgian Mum® Padre Orange Plant

Padre Orange Belgian Mum® Plants offer dark reddish-orange flowers for our Northern growers, while in the South it blooms a light orange. Starts blooming Mid September in the North and Late September in the South. Belgian mums are prized for their large number of flower buds, sometimes as many as 1000 per plant. They are tough and resistant to damage, and do not need pinching or staking. 

Padre Orange Belgian Mum Plant Care Instructions: Keep plants moist and well feed. A weekly application of a water soluble fertilizer works best. Snip off any flowers that start blooming early. When the flowers start showing color in the fall, stop fertilizing. Continue to keep the plants moist. After the first hard frost, the plant can be cut back to the ground. A heavy application of mulch is beneficial.
