Your mum will still need occasional watering in the winter. But, some of them still require a bit of extra care to survive through winter. Delicate outdoor plants need two key things: protection and water. First things first, delicate perennials should be planted in sheltered locations, like near the house on the south-facing side.
Even in a protected spot, they still may need extra insulation through the winter. You can wrap them in burlap or botanical insulating fleece. You can pound stakes around the plant, inches away from the leaves, and wrap burlap around the outside of that as well to give it an extra layer of protection and insulation from the wind.
Once the snow flies, you can pile snow up around covered tender plants to help insulate them even more. Watering is essential to the survival of delicate plants. No matter how well you wrapped them up. Keep watering regularly until just before the ground freezes. If plants go into winter with a good store of water in their roots, stems, and leaves, they should happily survive the winter.

Related Discussions Ants!! I have had three ant invasions, fortunately tiny ones, over the last ten years. I became fanatical after the last one and haven't had one in more than years now. There are two parts to my success: Part 1: Dawn dishwashing liquid, the blue one.
That kills them instantly and also wipes out their scent trails. I wet down paper towels, put the dishwashing liquid on them and placed them on the trail. I also just poured the liquid directly on them and around the food they were after. It took a few days before they were never seen again. Part 2: Fanatical, absolutely fanatical, no-exceptions-whatsoever rules were put in place.
Everything must be in canning jars, locking storage, the refrigerator or freezer. Cats are fed in their glass pie plates but the food, both soft and hard, stays down only for a limited period of time. This means I am feeding them more often, several times a day plus I always wipe the floor around the bowls with either soap and water or vinegar to catch any fallen bits of food.
The water bowl is changed out daily but without food to attract the ants it seems to be left alone. Human food or drink, including water, is not allowed anywhere except in the kitchen or dining room. This includes bottled water if guests bring any.
