Mum is the Word
…it’s also what is filling our hearts in preparation for our first listing of rooted mum cuttings for Ampersand customers!
Kelvin Mandarin
On Wednesday, September 10th, we’ll be opening our first wholesale mum listing for pre-orders. Our program brings an economical option to rooted heirloom mum purchasing for wholesale buyers and exclusive new varieties to the marketplace.
When we launch on Wednesday, you’ll find a list of over 50 “known” varieties (see the list below). These include popular large-flowering mums like ‘Fall Charm’ and ‘Ticonderoga’, pom-pom style mums like ‘Kelvin’s Mandarin’, quill mums like ‘Seaton’s Coffee’, and spray mums like ‘Whippoorwill’ and ‘Sienna Bronze’ and many more.
These cuttings are rooted and grown here in Northern New York by the Little Farmhouse Flowers team. They will be listed for shipping during 4 different shipping weeks in the spring from March 10 to May 5.
LFF has been growing mums from cuttings for years and spent the last year and half dialing in a process that ensures healthy stock and sanitary conditions for sharing their plants with others. Be sure to scoop up your selections early. To ensure high quality and a smooth mum shipping season quantities will be limited during our first year.
We will follow that listing later this fall (November, likely) with a collection of original, brand new varieties hybridized and grown by the farmers at Little Farmhouse Flowers. The team at LFF will choose a select group of cut flower varieties for ABC to share from over 100 of their 2025 original introductions. These cuttings will be available for shipping during the same weeks as the existing varieties. Here are few of the early blooming varieties from LLF that are already in flower.
