Mum's are budding.
It is June 14, I have not pinched my mums, what happens if my mum
starts to bud out? They are not crazy -leggy. Can I still pinch them? If they bloom now (Maryland) will they bloom again in the fakk? |

Do not let them bloom now unless you want fewer bloom that only last a short time and it is likely that they will not re-bloom in the fall. In your area you can pinch back your mums until about the middle of July. It is best to start pinching them back when the blooms just start to appear. -- Bill R.

They never bloomed this early before. They're a deep maroon red. |

They never bloomed this early before. They're a deep maroon red. I was at a small greenhouse nursery in Minneapolis, and the mums were blooming, and I asked about that, this was in mid-May. The guy told me they got the mums from a larger grower who said they fooled the plants with lights, because people don't buy mums till they bloom. Here in Minnesota mums bloom really late, so I found that kind of sad. I bought some to experiement with them, and the ones I cut off all the blooms are doing well, the ones that I just nipped the blooms off, are woody, and not doing so well. I'm waiting to see what happens in the fall. |

The buds are beginning to open on one plant. Should I still pinch them?
