That's pretty amazing! I always thought mums were annuals anywhere that got cold. Might have to try planting them next year and see if they come back the following year.Yep. They will grow back every year if I actually plant them. I have "rock" scaping in my front yard and we put large pavers in place so I have an easy spot to put potted flowers down. I haven't in the summer because the front gets the end of the day sun and it's just too hot for much. My roses do ok and my petunias planter is a bit sheltered but even there it can trap heat on the little porch we have. But in the fall I have level spots ready to go for 4 pots of mums.
