Mums the word at this Sacramento plant sale

Chrysanthemum Society offers unusual varieties for fall flowers

It's Mother's Day weekend. Why not get some mums for your mom? (Keep some for your own garden, too.)

This Saturday, May 11, the Sacramento Chrysanthemum Society hosts its annual cutting and plant sale at the Shepard Garden and Arts Center, 3330 McKinley Blvd., Sacramento.

Offered will be hundreds of mum plants, not yet in bloom but ready to set out in the garden or transplant into containers. Dozens of unusual varieties in several different bloom types and colors will be offered.

Discover many of the hard-to-find varieties featured at the annual Sacramento Chrysanthemum Show, held each fall. Spectacular spiders and old-fashioned football mums are just a few of the choices.
