Info

purchased in the autumn was moved into the flower beds. After all, we were dealing with indoor houseplants - sold as indoor houseplants - and most certainly bred solely for this purpose. It was only when the transplanted Chrysanthemums in spring pushed the soil aside and let one leaf shoots follow after another, that I really began to take an interest in the project. Still, it surprised me how different the indoor Houseplants behaved when planted outdoors. Some reached during the summer an approximate 1 meters altitude, others stuck to a lower growth - see photo from 4th November. And what also amazed were the flowers as they unfolded - some already in august (I did not get photos of these), others in September-October and others here in November - they were so much different from what I seem to remember was their former appearance as houseplants. Especially the flowers on the photo from 22 November stand out. Perhaps an intermediate stage back to the original. Next year will show. At least I have a photo for comparison. Short-day plant According to various botanical books and websites, it is when summer fades and the nights are getting longer, Chrysanthemum gets its naturally flowering. The fact that you can purchase Pot-Mums throughout the year is all due to new methods of cultivation. ”Automatic curtains have replaced scampering student gardeners. Ingenious software now controls the night-breaks and day-extensions. Almost all of the millions of potted chrysanthemum produced are treated with one or more growthretarding agents. These are similar to hormones or affect hormone balance, so the plants grow shorter and bushier, but otherwise look perfectly normal.” (Source: www.haveABC.dk)
Pot Roses - (Rosa Hybrid) Perennial. Belongs to Rosaceae family. Height/Length: 20-50 cm. Flowering: In garden: June-October. Pot-roses are cultivated for all year sales. Need watering regularly during the growing and blooming season. Habitat: Light, preferably in direct sunlight. Origin: Hybrids. (Source: www.husetoghaven.dk) I can't resist the temptation. All those breathtakingly beautiful roses. Strategic exhibited in supermarkets, so you pretty much can't avoid confrontation with their amazing grace. The result is a foregone conclusion. I return home with yet another Pot Rose. Fact remains. Not once have I managed to keep a single Pot Rose alive. After a few weeks they lose their leaves. The buds wither. Just as the photo so sadly confirms. I have heard that you should consider them in line with Cut Roses. An outright Buy And Throw Away case. My apologies to complete the purchase - is that Pot Roses actually thrives as soon as they are planted out into the garden.
