Chrysanthemum progress report for Deb's P

Hi Debs

Just wondered how your Chrysants are progressing?

Took a couple of pictures of my plants this morning so that you can compare.

Impressive.......mine are showing flower buds but not as branched as yours, probably the same height. The cuttings I took from the originals are in one litre pots, I'm going to keep them in those to overwinter under cover, that's the plan anyhoo! Looking forward to the flowers!

Well the flowers lasted until early December! The garden never looked so colourful so late, so I have dug up all my plants and are storing them in the cold greenhouse to see if I can get them through the winter. I was a bit disappointed with some of the colours, not as bright as I was led to believe, but the Orange and bronze shades were fantastic, so I'm hoping to propagate those for next year if they pull through!

Had a look at my plants this morning, quite a few showing basal growth so should be OK in six or seven weeks time to take cuttings.
