Mums do well, often they will bloom in the spring and in the fall. Don't think yours will make it through your cold winter.

You know I have had them winter over but our season is so short that I have never had them bloom they get tons of buds but freeze before they bloom.
I just am not sure whether those potted ones will make it. Or how to plant them to give them the best chance.
Cushion mums do great here

I have planted them in the ground and they come back every yr and I'm in zone 5.
I pinch them back until July 4th or so and stop and they do well for me.
I bought mine at Walmart a few falls ago for $1 I think it was

I found that not cutting them back until spring helps...they don't like the snow and by leaving the old woody stems...helps keep the snow off...plus I mulch mine heavily...Good Luck Dawn!!!
