Kimberley Marie

October classified medium, light bronze intermediate. (15b LB)

Root: January/early February.

Blooms per plant: 2 for exhibition.

Height: 1.0 metres appx

Protection: overhead and bloom bags

A very vigorous performer producing thick heavy stems and carrying large deep green leaves.  After securing buds the neck does not always extend sufficiently to accommodate the bloom bag - it may be necessary to remove one or two leaves. Another dual purpose cultivar that can be grown in the ground or in pots and will also produce blooms for late October and November shows from a later root and stop. 

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 development following the stop. The following information relates to stopping dates for producing blooms for Shows during the first half of September and are offered as a start point for new growers. Adjustments should be made for later or earlier shows.
