Taking Care of Potted Mum Plants. The chrysanthemum or mum is a very popular plant which can be grown successfully indoors our outside in the garden. With the right care and attention it's possible to make potted mums last throughout the winter. It's also possible to take cuttings and grow new mum plants for free.
Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum), or mum for short, is among the most popular perennials for fall planting because mums are in full flower in October -- just when most plants are going to seed. Mums are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 - 9, but they are commonly grown as potted annuals. The flower color varies widely in every shade but blue, but mums are fairly easy to distinguish from other perennials by their growth habit, leaf type and flower structure.
