New Report Lists Top Garden Mum Varieties By Color
Ball Seed has compiled all trial and performance data for its garden mums and released its “Top Garden Mum Varieties By Color.”

“Ball Seed often gets questions about the top varieties by color, and like any plant question, the answer can be regional and impacted by crop timing and the anticipated retail sales window,” says Linda Kiscellus, business manager for Ball Mums.
“The varieties we’ve listed have vibrancy and durability,” says Cindy Drumgool, the new Ball Mums product manager, who brings 20+ years of production and retail experience to the team. “So when the weather works against sales, these mums will still look great and have consumer appeal.”
In addition to this color trends and performance list, Ball Mums recently released its 2019 New Variety Supplement brochure. To view it online or download a copy, visit the following link online: www.ballseed.com/virtual/2019_
