Homecoming mums or chrysanthemums are a tradition for Texas and Oklahoma areas basically. The are yet another way for people to spend money! The are lots of ribbons, with tons of trinkets, and glitter letters ranging anywhere from $50.00 all they way to as much as $250.00. Guys buy them for the girls they date, for Homecoming game, and girls buy the guys garters! Parents sometimes get their children chrysanthemums/garters depending on the child. You can make them big medium or little. Depends on you. If you are in Texas or Oklahoma go to a Michaels or Hobby Lobby or even a flower shop and they can show you the mums.

The chrysanthemums that people buy at the florists or grocery store in fall and put out for their color will die with the frost. If you want chrysanthemums to grow the next year, you have to buy them earlier in the year and pinch off the flowers until after July 4th. Those will grow the next year.
This question doesn't even make sense.
Trim off the dead parts of the plant. Fertilize lightly and pinch blossoms that are too early.
