For the largest flowers, summer is the time to disbud chrysanthemums. It is a special technique commonly used when growing mums as cut flowers or to exhibit stunning mega-sized blooms.
Chrysanthemums are a versatile and wide-ranging flower that bloom from late August through September. If you grow chrysanthemums for late-season cut flowers or to show at local flower shows or gardening groups, disbudding is a trick that can make your blooms stand out – and you may find a pair of pruning snips like these at Walmart the perfect tool for the job.
