Default Harty Mum Question

Depending upon where you live, I have seen mums planted outside and they do
quite well as long as they are watered properly. In zone 7 (Arkansas) they
did very well, and I have had good luck with them here in zone 5 (Kansas).
I think the colors change after the first or second year, but that might be
because our soil pH is close to neutral. They might like more acid.

I purchased a small harty mum in a container. If I keep it in my house
with it survive? Would it be a perrential if I maintain it properly?

Thanks

Zone 6 (Kentucky) is a thumbs up on growing outside. Just get them in
the ground somewhere. I doubt that they'd survive in pots, especially
further north.
