History of Peggy Anne

Raised by Featherby and released by Luxford in 1949, even though the latest register gives Shoesmith as the raiser. I have had a letter from Mr Featherby's Grand-daughter Peggy Anne requesting stock for sentimental reasons. I am fairly sure that this information is correct, and earlier registers confirm it. I grow 2nd crown, mid January rooting, 1st stop 21st March, 2nd stop 20th May, 9" pot I like ripe wood, not too much feed. This year (2003) I had 2 plants that for some reason budded early. I ran them on and I had the best blooms I have ever had on this variety.

U.K. Regional Stopping guide
The dates we choose for stopping our chrysanths can never be guaranteed to produce flowers on a specific date for a specific show, weather conditions and other factors (such as garden aspect, location, cultural routine etc) will all play a part in influencing speed of plant and flower development following the stop. The information provided here relates to stopping dates for producing early flowering blooms for Shows during the first half of September or late flowering blooms for the first half of November and are offered as a start point for new growers. Adjustments should be made for later or earlier shows.
