Here in the north, mums will die back in the winter and must be kept mulched and well drained. We have better success in containers since our wet winters can keep their feet to wet.
In the spring they'll slowly start to come back but most people want them to wait and bloom in the fall. This is why we pinch them back and it also allows for bushier plants.
