The colors and textures of this little vignette make me smile every time I open the door. On the other side of the door, I added one of the new plants in a wicker basket set on top of a green vintage wood stool. Since it was a fundraiser those plants weren’t as inexpensive at $12 each but it was a fundraiser so let’s not count those in my 5 tips. I just bought two new mums the other day for a fundraiser at my daughters dance studio so those haven’t bloomed yet. I still need to share a tutorial about making these planters. The supplies needed to make these planters is much more budget-friendly than buying porch planters in this tall size. My DIY stained wood planters hold the huge mums which brings in some of the warm wood tones we saw in the Pinterest inspiration photo. I had to dig to find different colors because I’m pretty sure 90% of the mums were yellow. So I was super excited to find the rust, pink, purple and orange this year. Last year I used all yellow mums when I styled the porch for fall which was the only color they had at Costco. S2M Tip: Buy fall mums at grocery stores and wholesale clubs for the best prices. I was able to get mums in a variety of different colors this year at Costco.Īnd that cute little cabbage ornamental plant is from BJ’s and was only $5.Īlthough, I’d love to do all white mums someday but I’m too frugal so I always buy them at the grocery store because they’re super inexpensive there.Ĭan you believe those giant mums were only $16.99 each and then the 8″ pots were 4 for $12.99? Maybe they’ll even make it to Thanksgiving…now that would be something…huh?! So last weekend I soaked each one in a big bowl of water so cross your fingers for me. I did see a few people sharing tips about watering mums from the bottom.

Of course now some of my mums are already in full bloom from all that sun so let’s hope I don’t kill them off before Halloween. I always buy mums at the end of the summer every year and down here in the south it’s still really hot.Īnd my front porch gets sun all afternoon which is the hottest time of the day for my plants.
