Is it necessary to cut back Mums? I was told that if you don't, the plants get too leggy and won't support the flowers.
Thanks

You were told right. But do all that pruning before it starts to set buds.

And you can root those cuttings to make more, if you'd like.

Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.
