Nursery Supplies Classic Custom Blow-Molded Mum Pot | Trade - Large Mum Pan - Black - Round - 9in D x 6.125in H - 1.21gal (4.58L) (Case of 97)

Shallow, Wide-Diameter Pan for Mums and Bedding Crops, 9in D x 6.125in H

Mums, poinsettias, and other wide, bushy bedding crops don't sit well in a standard tall trade pot, since the plant's canopy quickly outgrows a narrow base. Nursery Supplies' Classic Custom Blow-Molded Mum Pot is a shallow, wide-diameter pan built specifically for that kind of crop, giving the root ball a stable, low-profile base to match a wide top-growth habit.

The Large Mum Pan (9in D x 6.125in H, 1.21gal) offers more root volume for larger finished mum and bedding stock.

Key Features & Benefits

• Shallow, wide-diameter pan — matches the low, wide growth habit of mums and similar bedding crops.
• Flexible blow-molded construction — resists cracking through routine handling and shipping.
• Small and Large Mum Pan sizing — offered in two pan sizes to match crop scale.

Who Should Use This Mum Pan

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a mum pan instead of a standard trade pot?

A mum pan is shallow and wide instead of tall and narrow, which matches the low, bushy growth habit of mums and similar bedding crops better than a standard trade pot does. The wider base also helps stabilize the plant as its canopy fills out.

What sizes are available?

Nursery Supplies offers this pan in a Small Mum Pan and a Large Mum Pan size. Check the listed diameter, height, and gallon capacity to match your crop's scale.

Is it durable enough for a full growing season?

Yes, it's built from the same flexible, blow-molded material used across Nursery Supplies' Classic pot lines, designed to resist cracking through routine handling and shipping. It's built to hold up through repeated watering and handling across a full crop cycle.

Can I use this pan for crops other than mums?

Yes, any wide, bushy crop that benefits from a shallow, stable base rather than a tall, narrow profile can use this pan, not just mums specifically. Succulents and other low, spreading plants are common examples beyond mums.

How do I choose between the Small and Large Mum Pan?

Match the pan size to your finished plant's expected canopy width and root volume; the Large Mum Pan offers more root volume and a wider base for bigger finished plants. When in doubt, size up rather than down to avoid an early repot.
