  I've always taken basal cuttings in the spring when they start into growth, like this

  My chrysanthemums have become quite straggly, is it best to trim them and let the new growth come up from the bottom of the plant? Suggestions appreciated

  I usually support mine with canes as they tend to flop. I also move mine into the greenhouse before the first frost  - so fairly soon now! - and keep them going until they stop flowering so that I can keep picking them. Once they stop flowering, I cut them back and keep them in the greenhouse until next Spring when frosts are over.
