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.

They'll also (usually) survive winters in Western NY (zones 5/6) if planted
up against the foundation of the house or other structure that retains heat
and has a southern exposure. Your mileage may vary.
