Pinching Mums
I've just read (a bit late) the instructions on my garden chrysanthemum, which is full of
lovely flowers. The instructions say to pinch-out tip, and repeat each time shoots are
7-10 cm long.
Why are you supposed to do this? After flowering I just hack it down and leave it to its
own devices and the flowers are lovely. What will pinching achieve?
Thanks.
