How and when can I move established Chrysanthemums?

Our Advice:

The best time is after the first frosts have damaged the plants. Dig them up with a good root ball and transfer them to the new site. Cut the tops down to about 15 cm (6 ins) and water well to settle the soil around the roots. At this time of year, the plants should form new roots quite rapidly.
