Hello Bonnie, it depends on the climate zone. In warmer zones they can survive. But not heavy frosts, freezes and very wet cold winters. In colder zones, dig them up when it starts to get cold, cut the foliage right back and store them in a box/tray covered with compost, soil or coir peat until spring.
I bought exhibition mums seeds, and lots of them, what does it mean the seed will not stay true from the parent plant? will it change the whole variety? meaning I will might get simple chrysanthemum or just the color and size? can someone please finally explain this to me?
Usually to produce the same plant from Exhibition Mums you grow them from cuttings. So if you want identical plants, look for cuttings. As these seeds are from selected forms of hybridised Mums, the plants from the seeds produced MAY very likely vary from the parent plant as they will have been pollinated. How much variation is a matter of luck. I doubt you will get a simple chysanthemum, however most likely not identical to the parent in all cases. It is a possiblity you may even get a better plant from some seeds.... Where are you located ??

Chrysanthemum is a strong plant it takes rain and sun I have one yellow I love it.
Hi! I was just wondering can Pom Pom mums survive through winter? I just got mine today and Im not sure that I plant it at the right time. Thank you.
