    Chrysanthemum Plants/Cuttings - Going Going and Nearly Gone!!

    Well I haven't grown Chrysanths for a few years now, but I am afraid I left it a bit late to order mine for this year. I obviously don't like paying Garden Centre prices, but when I looked on the internet, I had problems finding anyone who still had them in stock.
    Just by chance a "Search Engine" directed me to Ebay where I found the Spray Chrysanths I wanted from Haileys Orchids (Norfolk).
    If anyone else was in a similar predicament, order them soon, as I think they will soon be gone.

                Well done!!!
                I planted mine in 4 inch pots yesterday evening and will transfer them into large pots when the roots begin to fill the pot.
                Just some advice needed - should I be planting them outside for blooming or in a Greenhouse - the varieties are:-

                1.Wendy Bronze
                2. Wendy Red
                3. Gompie Rose
                4.Gompie Purple
                5.Ellen White
                6.Ellen Yellow
                7.Beppie Rose
                8.Beppie Red
                9.Beppie Bronze

                If in the Greenhouse - are they likely to keep blooming into November and December??

                  Not sure to be honest but I intend doing the same as you have!

                  Once they are in bigger pots I intend putting them in my other 'half built' greenhouse (basically a roof but very few side panels!) The champion growers usually put a canopy over them at flowering time anyway to stop the blooms getting marked or faded by the sun.
                  I know these are only spray chrysanths but I have the space available so I may as well use it.
                  Just treat it as a learning experience and I'll compare notes with you later in the season!

                      Yep, arrived yesterday and all potted up today!

                      I've been doing a bit of research on the net and managed to get photographs of the nine species to aid in identification when they bloom.

                      I reckon they were originally purchsed from Delamore.co.uk but there aint any photos there. I've managed to get photos from Beckfield Nurseries, Halls of Heddon and Woolmans.

                      I was told the shades made me look 'cool' btw!
