Question

Can the large potted mums I bought go dormant in the pots inside and be revived in the spring?

Answer

Yes, the mums can go dormant in the pots but do not let them become completely dry over the winter. The roots will still need some moisture to remain viable. You will also want to keep them in a fairly light location.
