Plant Features

Fireworks Igloo mum is one of the best varieties available and is a true perennial, returning year after year. These mums have a uniform, mounded habit and are loaded with 2-inch, pink, spiderlike flowers that attract butterflies from late summer to fall. They are very easy to maintain and their mounded foliage requires no pinching, making them a low-maintenance addition to the garden. They look best when planted in groups and grow well in sunny locations, as well as in containers. Like other mums, they thrive in well-drained soil. Plant several Fireworks Igloo mums on their own or mix and match with other Igloo mums for a colorful display.
