I am looking for some advice, I live in Scotland and we had our first frost lastnight, I bought Late Flowering Chrysanthemums this year, as I have never grown them before should lift them and put into pots into the greenhouse as they are all  in  bud. Any advice would be grateful.

    Yes lift them and put in pots, make sure you have a lot of soil around the roots and water them in they might wilt a bit but should recover, maybe put a cane in.image

    Late flowering chrysanths should really be grown in pots, to flower in a glasshouse, as Logan says make sure you can lift with plenty of earth around the roots, use a spade not a fork to lift, they will need supports of canes, reduce the buds down to one each stem to get the best flowers, good luck.
