Florists potted mums are often not suitable for outdoor gardens as they grow tall or bloom late and may not be hardy. If saving them, prune after flowering, store in a cool basement, keep soil moist, and replant in spring after cutting back. Cuttings rooted in sand or vermiculite yield large plants by fall. Also storage tips for carrots and starting bougainvillea indoors are provided.
