This 14-inch hardy mum is Costco's popular seasonal fall plant, arriving in multiple autumnal colors including red, purple, orange, yellow, and white. The large potted mum comes with tightly closed buds that fully open within 1-2 weeks, creating a super-lush display perfect for porches, entryways, or outdoor decorating.

The plant arrives in a sturdy, thick plastic pot that's attractive enough to display as-is, eliminating the need for repotting. With regular care, these mums typically last through Thanksgiving and sometimes into December. The hardy variety can also be transplanted into garden beds at least six weeks before the first frost for potential perennial growth.

Care is straightforward: provide at least 6 hours of full sun daily, water every other day (or daily in hot weather) at the base of the plant, and regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage extended flowering. The plants arrive wrapped for easy transport and represent exceptional value compared to traditional garden centers.
