Why are my mums budding so early? My memory's not the best, but
shouldn't these be blooming in Aug/Sep? I pinched them back a month ago
for nice bushiness. Should I do it again and cut off the little buds?
Will they rebud? It wouldn't be the worst thing if they bloom now, it
just seems way early.

TIA



Mums in the garden industry are repeatedly pinched back for fullness as
well as to delay their blooming until fall.

Pinch back if you wish!
