Save Your Potted Mums. Propagation by Cuttings
The potted mums that are commonly sold as fall decor are bred from perennial chrysanthemum varieties. While the focus of current breeding is not really on making a hardy perennial, they're often hardy to zones 5 or 6 when well-established in the garden. If you care to try, your best chance at "saving" garden mums from one season to the next is one of two methods:
1. Plant the mums out in the garden fairly early after purchase - the more time they have for rooting, the better. In my example, I'm starting late, so I've trimmed the flowers. That'll serve (I hope) to allow more light down to the foliage, and redirect the plant's energy from flowering to rooting.
2. Propagate by cuttings. Again, this is likely better earlier in the year - on mums you've already overwintered. I'll show in this video, however, that it's possible to root cutting even from flowering stems.
