Garden Mum Families
Yoder Garden Mum families are the starting point for a successful
mum program.
Families are bred in order for growers to produce a range of colors
under a similar cultural program. Families are well matched for habit,
vigor, and uniform timing across all colors. Several of our families
will work for both Natural Season and Blackcloth production. When
selecting for combinations recipes, the families are an ideal choice
because all varieties within a family time and grow well together in
mixed pots.
