'function', I bring the pot into our insulated but unheated garage in late November or even into December depending when the cold weather sets in.

I water it well initially but then as has been mentioned in this forum, throughout the winter I will place a hand fill of snow on the pot as water in this form liquefies very very slowly.

Thank you.

Very pretty! I like the way it's a little bit deeper colored around the eye. I have still never found Mammoth Mums at my nurseries after years of keeping an eye out.

Actually it has been my experience that any hardy mum is difficult to source.

Hmm, I wonder why that is. With the exception of hostas and iris, I don't like to mail order plants because they're usually so small and disappointing.
