Green Spider Mums: Where Do They Grow?

Green spider mums are thin and wispy but quite attractive.

A perennial flower, the spider mum is a variety of chrysanthemum. It's identified by its frilly, hook-ended petals that appear thin and wispy. Like other mums, the green spider mum thrives in gardens throughout the world as an ornamental landscape flower.

Regions

The green spider mum is native to regions in northern Europe and Asia where the springs are sunny and mild. However, mums are highly adaptive and thrive well in a variety of climates, from temperate to tropical.

Hardiness Zones

Hardiness zone requirements for mums vary depending on the type, but green spider mums grow well between zones 3 and 9b. Hybrid varieties exist that can grow in other zones.

Soil and Sun

Green spider mums prefer partial sunlight and loamy, well-drained soil. During the hottest, driest seasons, they should be given more shade than during the spring.
