The RHS also recommends chrysanthemums for borders, containers, and cut-flower plantings.

Check pots regularly because limited soil volume can dry quickly. In cold climates, spring planting gives garden mums more time to establish before winter. ## Maintenance Water through dry spells while keeping the soil well drained. Pinch young shoots in spring and early summer to encourage branching, stopping by midsummer so buds can form. Local winter performance varies by selection and climate.
