Mums, or chrysanthemums to give them their full name, are a favorite among gardeners, particularly during fall when their vibrant blooms bring life to your outdoor spaces. But as temperatures drop and frost becomes a concern, you may wonder can mums withstand frost, or if the cold signals the end of their beauty?
While mums are known for their ability to handle cooler weather, and some varieties can even survive light frosts, they aren’t fully frost-resistant. Their tolerance to cold spells depends on a range of factors including the variety, how well-established the plant is, and whether they are being protected.
