Do any of you in my zone plant up the potted mums one can buy in the stores in the fall. I have quite a few bought to dress up the garden because I have never had great success with mums, even Mordens and of course I have no idea what these are but wonder if I should go to the trouble of planting them. I have small and medium sizes and a couple of big pots which actually look to have 4 plants in each.
I was thinking to maybe plant them in one of the raised veggie beds to see how they do and if they survive I could move them in the spring.
