Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Transplanting Mums Mums are one of the few plants that don't object much to being transplanted while in bloom. This makes them an excellent choice for filling in the bare spots in your fall garden. Water them thoroughly the day before moving them. The best time of day to transplant is early morning or late afternoon while the temperatures are cool. Dig up a generous amount of soil around the plant to avoid disturbing the roots more than necessary, and loosen the soil around the new site to make it easy for the roots to spread. Water thoroughly after transplanting, and if they show signs of wilting you should shade them during the heat of the day until they recover.
