I was very surprised when i was cutting back my mums because after i cut off the dead stems & pulled back the leaves the mums have already started coming back.Should i leave them uncovered or replace the leaves to protect the new growth.Dec is when it starts to get cold & Jan & Feb, are our coldest & some times wet months.

So cover mums back up with leaves or leave them uncovered ??

You can see what i mean about the leaves.I cut what was on top & then pulled the leaves back to find the new growth.

Thanks for any advice,have a nice day!!!
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
