What to do with mums in the winter?
I'm new to homeowning and trying to make a cute autumn home but am curious about Mums. Do they over-winter and bloom in the following fall again? Or are they just a one and done flower?
Thanks!

Mums will bloom again the following fall. Just don't plant them where they will set in water for long periods of time. I planted some that looked dead last fall and they are beautiful now.
Mom's I don't believe a perennial which means they don't come up every year Sometimes some people have had them come up but treat them as annual
They are a perennial plant. That for sure I know. I have personally never been able to make them bloom again. So I too would be untying knowing this part. I am in Texas.
I live in Oklahoma and my mums bloomed again this year!! I didn't do anything to them either! They died over winter, but greened back up come spring. I have 2 plants that are beautiful and full of blooms getting ready to open!!
There are different breads so ask your garden center for the kind that will come back year after year.
look for HARDY mums...they have the best chance of coming back each yr.
We live on the border of zone 6 & 5. i always buy mums that claim to be hardy and once in a while one will survive the winter but they are not reliably hardy further north than zone 6. A thick mulch like shredded leaves might help.
