Mum's the Word

I'm surprised more people don't grow mums in Phoenix, because they can definitely survive the Summer Death March, and they're gorgeous of course! In fact, I had one in full sun(south side of house) that made it through inferno just fine. With that in mind, I've just planted a few new ones in my front yard. They do tend to sprawl, so it's best to find a spot with room. My only beef with mums: they seem to be a sporadic rather than continuous bloomer.
