Late flowering chrysanthemum

Well as November fast approaches, time for a few of the late flowering jobbies. I usually grow Late flowering Singles & Anemones but this year I decided to have a go at a few more sprays. They have some distinct advantages over the normal Lates.

1. They are short life plants (the time between taking cuttings and flowering is short) & the cuttings don't need taking till July
2. Being short life they don't need much room - I grow them in 7" pots
3. They are easier to get to flower when you want them (although this seems to have gone a bit awry this year)

The only downside is you have to black them out for 12 hours a day for about 3 weeks still here we go

This is what the start out like & then 9 weeks later ...

........the final results
