"     I bought some mums and wanted to know if they would come back next year if I left them in the pots through the winter?  Nancy Slone The first thing you need to do is find out what kind of mums you have. There are many varieties; some are hardy perennials that can last year after year while others are best treated as annuals because they make it through only one season. Greenhouse mums are typically late-flowering, tender perennials that, in many regions, won&amp;#039;t survive the winter in the ground, let alone a pot. If you are buying beautiful mums for fall color and love them placed in pots around the garden, then I would say continue to do so, but don&amp;#039;t expect them to make it through a harsh winter. Treat them as an annual and replace them next year. If you really want to increase your chances of getting your mums to come back next season, the best place for them is in the ground. Check out the National Chrysanthemum Society&amp;#039;s Website for loads of information on mums: www.mums.org. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
