Pruning or Pinching my mums


Question
I have asked this question many time to other people and no one seems to really know the answer.
When is the best time for pruning are pinching my mums???????????
Please e-mail me with the answer  

Answer
Hi Vicky,
Thanx for your question.  As soon as you mums reach 6-8 inches tall start pinching them back and keep them about 6-8 inches tall.  This may seem drastic but continue to do this until the 4th of July and you will have a nice cushiony, full-figured plant.  Don't pinch after the 4th of July or you run into the danger of pinchy off floral buds.  I hope this helps.
Tom
