Hi Marlowe. I'm Cindy. If your Mums are in the ground, prune them back to just a couple inches above the soil. Remove all the dead flowers and debris. Then cover it with mulch or grass clippings. At least 3 or 4 inches worth. It's all about protecting the root systems from winter weather. Good luck Marlowe and Happy Holidays.
