I love free graphic prints for your home and when Ella from Ella Claire mentioned she was hosting a Fall Printable hop, I knew I wanted to participate!  

I love how simple printables make decorating your home for each season.  I have a clipboard gallery wall in my dining room and it’s the perfect place to show off all my seasonal prints!  Today I will be sharing my clever Mum’s the Word FREE Fall Printable and read to the bottom to see all the other gorgeous ladies’ prints!

When the weather starts to cool and fall is on it’s way, the first flower you start seeing pop up at your local plant shops and nurseries are Mums!

What colors do mums come in?

Chrysanthemums or mums, are colorful perennials loved by homeowners in the fall. As these cheerful plants start to bloom in the late summer through fall, their colors of yellow, red, orange, white, burgundy and pink come to life.

They are fun to plant in ground or leave in their grow pot to brighten the look of your front or back patio all fall season long.

I love that no matter what colors you use in your fall decor, that mums come in so many wonderful shades of Autumn beauty! The yellows, burgundy and whites are my favorites.  So I incorporated those colors into my watercolored Mum print.

Some of my favorite Fall Pumpkin colors have been these Pastel Pumpkins, Pressed Leaf Pumpkins and my Bean Pumpkin.

My ideal way to decorate and celebrate fall is simply bringing in plants from the outside!  A few thing branches from a small tree in the backyard and some colorful Zinnias and my table is set.

Add in this simple Mum print with a gold frame and you have an easy, affordable fall vignette!

How often do Mums bloom?

Mums bloom in response to the shortening of day lengths. So they typically bloom in the beginning of late summer or early fall. 

Can mums be pruned?

Yes and it actually helps encourage your mum to have a beautiful round full look!

Otherwise, mums can grow tall and “leggy” with fewer blooms and a tendency to flop over. By pinching and pruning a bit, you can encourage the plant to branch out. Giving your mum a full, sturdy shape that will be covered in blooms come fall.

Why are mums called mums?

The reason mums are called “mums” is simply a common abbreviation of their full botanical name, “chrysanthemums.” It’s a natural shortening that’s been used by gardeners and flower enthusiasts for a long time.

The name “chrysanthemum” itself comes from the Ancient Greek words “khrusos” which means “gold,” and “anthemon” which means “flower.”

This name reflects the original golden-yellow color of the plant when it was first introduced to Europe. While today’s mums come in a rainbow of colors, the name’s history is rooted in those original golden blooms!
