T...I can certainly understand your Mum frustration. The Perennial mum is not the same thing as a "hardy garden mum", and must be planted in the SPRING to get it to come back. Planting a mum in the fall is risky at best because the roots don't have enough time to establish before the first killing frost. As for Asters, I will never plant one. They are too susceptible to Powdery Mildew. Gross! They loose their leaves from the bottom up and look straggly very quickly. I hope you have better luck with yours! (and I live in Zone 5 as well) Happy Gardening!

I'll have to add them to my 'I want that' list.
