Some believe that Persephone spent 9 months (Some believe 6 months) of the year living in the underworld with her husband, Hades, and the rest of the year with her mother, Demeter, in Olympus.
There is some question about the amount of time she spent in Hades. As Encyclopaedia Britannica 1911 ("Persephone") expressed it, 'So it was arranged that she should spend two-thirds (according to later authors, one-half) of every year with her mother and the heavenly gods, and should pass the rest of the year with Hades beneath the earth."But some people say she would go to her lover.
She only spends six months in the underworld with hades. This is winter and fall. The other six months are spent with her mother Demeter in the real world. This is spring and summer.
6 months she has to spend in the Underworld, the other I believe she is allowed to go where she pleases.

The Underworld with Hades. When it is winter; plant growth returns with her.
Persephone spends half of the year in the Underworld, and half of the world 'above'; whether on Mount Olympus, or tending to the earth's natural beauties.
It depends on what time of the year these months are during. Winter and Autumn are associated with the Underworld, while Spring and Summer are associated with Persephone returned to Earth.
Persephone once lived with her mother, Demeter. However, she was abducted by Hades. After an altercation between Demeter and Hades, it was decided that Persephone would resides with Hades for 3 months of the year. The other months of the year she lives with her mother.
