Here are two of the three Mums that I bought last year (6" pots) that made it through the Winter---MAN! Did they ever!!!! I just put the pots under some shrubs and threw a bunch of leaves over them.
I had NO idea they would grow so big! I even pinched them twice!
I will be digging up the yellow one and moving it to another spot--as the yellow Mum bloomed weeks before the other two. Did NOT like that! I have others that I can plant in it's place.

This is the small, round bed that I planted my KK Hibiscus in. You can see some of the KK in the picture.

The other flowers you see are Zinnias and my Tall, Blue. incessantly self-seeding Ageratum. Once you have these--you will always have these....They ARE easy to move around as seedlings, though. Put them anywhere you want to have them---for eternity.....:o)) I like the subtle blue color peeking out here and there.....

This is also the bed that I had all those "Dwarf", Red Coreopsis in. I am bracing for all the "volunteers" next Spring!
Will have plenty to share at the Plant Swap--that's for sure!
