A perennial--at least in theory.

0o0o, how pretty! You might be able to keep it as a perennial with a little tlc over the winter. I've got one that's about 5 years old now and I put leaves over it once they start dropping. Usually I just get a few flowers, but this year I pinched it back twice and now it's got lots of buds on it and it's bushier than it's ever been. |

I have one that comes back, it is weeney but I like it. http://ourlittleacre.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archi ve.html Now there is a great article on mums... a couple really. Asters are the new mums and another commentary about mums never coming back. My favorite part is the gallery of long dead mums. Lol. Here is the second mum I purchased this year. I could not resist it! It was called something like the Christy Mum. I don't know how it lives! Look at those flowers!!! How does the plant get any sunlight!? Attachments:  |
