I've not had much luck transplanting the "garden mums" that are sold in
baskets this time of year. I was told by the local radio garden show host
that transplanting them while in bloom is the problem. They don't expend any
energy putting down roots while blooming and before they do it freezes. Not
sure what your zone is but it doesn't work here in west central Wisconsin.
My wife starts "hardy" Mums from seed in the early spring ( indoors ) and we
have had good luck growing them as "perennial" in somewhat protected areas.
This year we bought some really nice looking yellow mums in early Sept. and
I cut all of the blooms off before I transplanted them. So far they look to
be doing fine and I am hoping for a great show next year.

On the Yucca, we have successfully transplanted Yucca plants twice, both
times in the fall. Last time was because we were moving and couldn't leave
them behind.

I don't know the type of Yucca -- it's whatever they seem to have all over
the place in central Indiana. I found some growing wild and was wondering
if I could give it a garden home at my place. (It's my Scots ancestory.
I
just can't buy one if there is one to be had for free.) If it can be
moved, would this be the time to do it or would it be better moving it in
the spring?

AND, one more question: can all these nice bushel mums in pots on my porch
be garden planted at the end of October or do they need to go in before
that
to be rooted for the winter?

Thx.
