Are crysanthemums annuals or perrinials

Chrysanthemums, commonly known as mums, are typically perennials. They can thrive and return year after year in many climates, although some varieties may be grown as annuals in regions with harsh winters. Proper care, including mulching and protecting the roots, can help ensure their survival through colder months. However, in some cases, they may be treated as annuals if they do not survive the winter.
