Is it even Autumn if you don’t have a porch full of mums? Starting in mid-September, mums start popping up at stores across the Midwest. You can find mums in all shapes and sizes at all different price points. However, there is nothing more disappointing than buying a mum that ends up being a dud. For guaranteed beautiful mums, you must visit this charming Missouri farm that has miles and miles of hearty mums available!
