There’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy. But at Family Flowers, we’re beginning to see the first hints of a beautiful new season.
The greenhouse is making room for fall colour, our homegrown garden mums have made their debut, and we’re already looking forward to crisp mornings, cozy porches, family gardening projects, and all the little things that make autumn feel special.
If you’re ready to add a touch of fall to your home, or simply want an excuse for a cheerful garden centre visit - this is your first peek at what’s coming next.
Fall Colour is Here
Garden mums are one of the easiest ways to welcome the season. Their full, generous blooms bring instant colour to a front step, porch, patio, or garden, with shades that feel perfectly at home in autumn.
Look for rich golds, warm oranges, deep reds, burgundy, pinks, whites, and soft bronze tones. Whether you love a classic fall palette or prefer something bright and playful, there’s a mum combination for every home.
Our beautiful, homegrown garden mums are available now, alongside seasonal planters and other favourites for refreshing your outdoor spaces. They’re a simple way to make your home feel ready for fall without taking on a major garden project.
A quick tip for happy mums
When you bring your mums home, place them somewhere they’ll receive plenty of sunlight and check the soil regularly. Potted mums can dry out quickly, especially when they’re sitting on a sunny porch. Water thoroughly when the soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away.
For the longest-lasting display, choose plants with plenty of unopened buds as well as some open flowers. That way, you can enjoy the colour as new blooms continue to open.
And if your summer geraniums and petunias are still looking lovely, there’s no need to rush them away. Let them keep blooming while the weather is warm, then add mums nearby for a cheerful late-summer-to-fall transition.
