Your link to the Sarah Raven's website has got me thinking though - temptation beckons! She recommends bringing them into a greenhouse to overwinter so that they can be cut down and reshoot in the spring. I don't have a greenhouse but maybe a solution could be found ….

I have never grown chrysanths before either and interestingly I only have buds on one, this one, too! So that sounds about normal if ours are both at the same stage - well, except my buds are still tiny so have a long way to go before they get to this lovely stage.
