| You've got hardy mums, regular garden mums. Nothing regular about them. I love them and have many. I'm in zone 4/5 and I leave mine the way they are. In the spring I cut off the dead stems and they come back from the roots. You shouldn't have to pot them up and put them in the basement if you don't want to. Also, they will come up stronger and happier each year. If they get too big divide and share with someone. If you're looking for a winter project check out the Winter Sowing forums--planting seeds in the middle of winter! A few Gardenweb points: 1. Many won't like it that you've posted a question on the Seed Swap link. You should probably find a more appropriate forum--but many people love to give advice, tell you their best practices and suggestions. 2. You don't have an email set up. I saw your post, clicked on My Page (by your username) to find your trade lists and your email, but you don't have an email set up. GW sets it up this way so that not everything is public, especially if you're trading seeds and plants and need to give someone your name and address. Good luck! Heidi |
