Perhaps you’ve already celebrated the season’s biggest fruit at the Louisville Jack- O-Lantern Spectacular (if you haven’t gone yet, head on over!). It’s time now to turn your attention to the season’s boldest bloom, the mum. Though it’s November’s official flower, mums start popping up on doorsteps and in entryways in October, a sunny symbol that Fall is here. At Nanz & Kraft Florists, we love Fall’s marvelous mums, and have a bevy of arrangements to choose from so that you too can Fall up your home.

Nothing gives off an autumnal vibe quite like a lush garden bed or container full of mums, which come in many colors these days, all of them perfect for that harvest-home palette. Our Country Charm Hardy Mums will bring some life to your front door and look great stacked on the steps leading up to it. In this case, two hardy mums are offered in a rustic basket tied off with an elaborate Autumn-themed bow. The classic golden color is a beautiful contrast to the newly barren trees or red and gold leaves you’re probably shoveling into piles right about now.

For added fun, we’ve dressed our arrangement with pumpkins, gourds, raffia, leaves and cotton stalks, which really emphasize the design’s country appeal. And as a gift, a basket of mums like this extends the warmest of seasonal wishes. Whether you brighten up your own space or someone else’s, the mums you put outside your home will definitely be noticeable to all who pass by, so don’t forget to get some from Nanz & Kraft Florists as you’re piling up your car trunk with pumpkins.
