How far back to cut chrysanthemums?

| For the first time ever, some chrysanthemums I put in near my front stairs last fall have come back in leafy glory. I had no idea I was supposed to cut them back until a friend told me, so I cut them back last week to about 4-6 inches high. Please advise me if I should cut them even further; I would be unhappy if they didn't re-bloom in the fall because I did something wrong. Thanks! I live in Roanoke, if that helps. |

| You don't need to cut them back further. That should be plenty. |

| Typically they get cut back by half around now. Sounds like you may have done more, but you should be fine. Don't cut any more. |
