Don’t give up on your mums before they’ve had a chance to live out their season! Sally explains how to trim your mums for new growth throughout the fall:
1. Use a sharp pair of head shears to remove the bulk of the blooms.
2. Spot trim with pruning clippers as needed.
3. Mix up some Hastagro (1 oz./1 gal. of water) and apply to soil.
4. Place in bright sun and enjoy!
Velma Lozano says
I was not aware of the proper way so I used a small pair of garden trimmers and started trimming a few stems until I completed the whole bush. what will happen now that I have done this incorrectly?
Jesse says
Hi Velma – you didn’t do anything wrong, you just did it the slow meticulous way! Should be totally fine.

I loved learning that trick – also know the chrysanthemums like to be in at least 1/2 day of sun. Sally
