Yes. The leaves of the plant will die back and become brown after a few hard frosts. After the foliage of the plant has died back, you will need to cut it back. Leaving a little bit of the stems will ensure that next year you have a full plant as the new stems will grow from these trimmed stems. After this it is best to provide a heavy layer of mulch over the plant after the ground has frozen. The mulch for winterizing mums can be straw or leaves. Interestingly, the idea is to help prevent the ground from thawing during the winter during warm spells. When the ground freezes and thaws and freezes again, this causes more damage to the plant than if it simply stays frozen for the whole winter season.
