When is the best time to plant mums (from the pots to the ground) now, or leave them in the pot till next spring?

The best time to plant mums is in the spring. This provides them with several months to develop a good root system, which is crucial to their survival during the winter. Most mail-order sources ship in the spring, but few nurseries stock them then.

I purchased some in pots a few weeks ago and planted them right away. They are growing fine, with lots of flowers.
