Ordering
What You'll Receive
Each plug is approximately 3-4 inches tall from the bottom of the roots to the tip of the leaves. This may seem small but you will find that mums are fast and vigorous growers! Mums are easily propagated from cuttings, and you will get a lot more plants from your plugs if you pot them up and allow them to grow out a little more. 3 Porch Farm will include a care card and a link to their 'How To Take Mum Cuttings' video with every order.

Propagation
Mums are easily propagated from cuttings and you will get a lot more plants from these cuttings if you pot them up and allow them to grow out a little more. All orders will include a link to a video of Mandy from 3 Porch Farm explaining this process in detail and showing the best way to take these cuttings.
