The Garden Frog with C Renee on Oct 22, 2014hardy mums are best outside. If you want to bring it in, then yes, cutting it back would probably be best. Can I ask why you want to bring it in?Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Oct 23, 2014I second Renee's question. If it's a hardy mum, it should be fine outside, and happier than in.Helpful Reply

Sandy Burrell on Oct 23, 2014if you haven't planted it yet, and it's in Iowa, chances are it won't come back next year, even if you do plant it.... The best way to care for it would be to not cut it back, but let it get lightly frosted a few times to signal to it that it needs to go dormant. Then put it in an unheated storage building, water it sparingly a few times over the winter, just enough so it doesn't totally dry out, only like 4 times over the winter, then plant it in the spring in a sunny location. That would give it the best chance to come back, as then by next fall it would be well established.Helpful Reply
