Title: Chrysanthemum progress report for Deb's P
Post by: Tee Gee on August 23, 2016, 15:39:26: Hi Debs

Just wondered how your Chrysants are progressing?

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

Disbuds

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!

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!
