CHRYSANTHEMUMS in ABERDEEN - Novelty report 2002

Joyce Frieda 13b Y, (Lawson/Woolmans 2002)
Good pre-release reports on this cultivars suggested it should be worth a try. Plants received early March and stopped 24th March. While remaining healthy throughout the season some plants did not break easily after the stop, this resulted in slow and spindly growth. One plant performed as expected and produced good sized blooms from 3rd week in September. Hard, crisp, petals with good incurving form. Appx 4ft at flowering time. No health issues. Will grow again

The following information was received from Roland Crellin:

Regarding last years releases I have seen at a growers plot in Penrith 2 varieties:
