Mums...are all perinnials?
Just bought some to plant in pots for the fall...was wondering if all were perinnials so I can transplant them later?
Re: Mums...are all perinnials?
Yes. Mums are perrenials. Plant them in the ground before the first hard frost.
SOME mums are perennial in Ohio. Further south, more mums would be classified as perennial.
It depends on the mum and the zone.
No, not all mums are perennials. "Hardy" mums, most often, are perennials but whether or not they winter over has much to do with planting time, methods used for wintering over, etc. I've had hardy mums come back and I've had them die off in winter....depends much on your zone as well. Also has a lot to do with how they are labeled when purchased....I've purchased "hardy" mums which I later found out were not "hardy" at all. Winter those well enough and they may have a chance though. True hardy mums will produce stolons.
"Florist" (garden) mums are often used in cut arrangements and by purchasing one and planting, you will not always be blessed with a true perennial. There are so many varieties of chrysanthemums and it can be difficult to figure out what's what. The long and short of it is that some are perennial, others are not. Regardless of the mum, your best chance at seeing them year after year is to establish them in the spring. GL!
