I’m in zone 7B.

I thought I heard in the ATP podcast that they will rebloom.

I think that's pretty fanciful thinking. I'm in zone 6b, one north of you. I dead head them just to keep everything looking clean. Some will throw up a couple more flowers, 3 here, one there, always on very short stems but nothing like the original mound- I wouldnt call it re-blooming. Its more like a couple slackers late to the party.

Thank you! Hardly worth buying really for such little longevity. I’ll have to tell my husband he was right when I kept insisting I heard they would rebloom. 🤣

Don't give up yet! I have one that got a few blooms in Aug. and is loaded with buds now. They do need the cooler nights/ shorter days, and the ones forced for the floral trade may need to readjust their timing.

They do rebloom but you have to plant them in the garden and grow them for another year. If you bought this one in bloom, yes it probably was 'forced' by being given a cool growing spot, and the right day length.

If you are able to plant it out now, and grow it to next fall, you'll get much better blooms that will also last longer.

I found where I heard it.
I'll report how it goes with deadheading.

If that a picture of the plant you are talking about? Because that's not a mum...

My bad, its just that dasiys and mums are easy to confuse. Hope I didn't offend...

So, are you asking about Mums or Daisies?

Mums. My original post is accurate, but I accidentally tapped my plane ID question photo rather than the photo of the spot in the episode where I learned about deadheading mums.
