I don't think there's anything you can do to make your mums bloom right now...you'll just have to wait until they're ready. A bloom fetilizer will only help make them bloom longer and better, but won't make them bloom at a specific time.

they bloom due to lighting(spring`longer light Fall`shorter light)also they're are different types mums and some are early some are mid season some are later.This is a good site for mums.

Mine didn't grow as tall either.I useually cut them back by HALF(leaveing 2 ft) in July.This time I just pinched the tips.My bronze mum did not bloom this spring.Its actually in a jungle right now.I guess should move it huh.my cuttings from fall last yr are just starting to bud.they are in a shaded area.

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!

Thanks for the wonderful link, njoynit! ![[kissies]](im/graemlins/kissies.gif)
Great site! ![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)
I found some really great quill and spider mums I want to check out! ![[Wink]](im/wink.gif)
I always keep my mums pinched back until about mid-July because it seems to give me more blooms![[clappy]](im/graemlins/claps.gif)
and makes the plant more bushy and compact! I've been doing this for years and I love the results! ![[Love]](im/graemlins/love.gif)

That is a great site. I plan to take a good long look at it one of these days.

Search The Garden Helper:
I'd like to get all my mums blooming now. Can I feed them some blooming fert. Or should I just wait for them. I can't wait. Everything else is about done blooming and I miss it all.
I didn't pinch any of the mums this summer. Didn't need to. They grew great but didn't bud up.
