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.
