Me again,lol! He bought me some Goldenrod Yellow this time, they have been in the house because we may have to move and I was wanting to take them with me, some of the blooms have started to turn brown but there are buds that have not opened yet, if I clip the brown ones off will that make the buds bloom? I was thinking after it blooms all the way and starts to go dormant can I just sit it outside and let it stay out there all winter? It says it is a garden mum which is quite hardy, but some of the posts that I have read say just sit it outside and it will come back. Again I live in zone 6 and they say it is supposed to be more snowy and colder than last winter. Here is a pic of them. This is when he first got them for me.
