"Martin" asked:
My Chrysanthemums have now passed their best and looking in a sorry state.
Can I snip the dead bits off now or should I wait a few more weeks ?
---
Yes, gardeners round here cut the stems right down to the ground. Others
within 6ins. from ground level, either way doesn't appear to make any
difference. If your Chrysanthemum clumps need lifting and dividing, do that
job in March or April.
