OUR FALL MUMS ARE GROWING STRONG AT PAYNE’S NORTH – WEEK BY WEEK!

Autumn may still be weeks away, but it’s already taking root at Payne’s Nursery. Our fall mums are growing strong now, giving them the time they need to become full, lush, and bursting with color by the time Santa Fe’s cooler days arrive.

By nurturing our mums early in the season, they develop sturdy roots and abundant blooms that provide long-lasting beauty throughout the fall. Whether you’re dressing up your front porch, brightening a patio, or adding rich seasonal color to your garden beds, mums are a timeless favorite.

Stop by Payne’s Nursery to explore our growing selection and watch these beautiful plants flourish over the coming weeks. When autumn finally arrives, you’ll have the perfect mums ready to bring the colors of the season home.

ASK THE GARDEN GURU!

WHAT ARE POPULAR GRASSES IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO?

ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!

In one of the archived shows from previous years, the Garden Guru discussed Xeriscaping and Native grasses. Grasses such as Indian Rice Grass, Little Blue Stem and Mexican Feather Grass are very popular. However, the most common variety planted here in Santa Fe are Blue Grama Grass and Buffalo Grass. These will form a mat and are really quite striking! These grasses really blend well with wild flowers. Payne’s has plenty of wild flower seeds for you to choose from. Listen to Lynn’s tip to see how to plant these grasses and wild flowers for a most beautiful garden!
