I got a pot of mums from a friend of mine. When she gave them to me the flowers were all dead. I deadheaded them and the foliage seems to be doing ok. I am just wondering if more flowers should grow back and also how long I can keep tis plant going. Can it survive in the house all winter? Anyone know hwo to properly take care of it? Hope I can get some advice cause I really want to get this plant looking good before I see my friend again! [Big Grin]

Hi Magic,
These are lovely plants. My son had the yellow ones in his garden in Peru and they make you smile everytime you see them. They are tender perennials and are short lived, but can often grow for 2 or 3 years. You will have to bring it in for the winter in your zone. Take a look here.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
