Heritage Chrysanthemums
Showing 1–12 of 21 results
Our rooted cuttings are taken from our own mother stock, produced and grown here. “Like so many things before it, the chrysanthemum fell prey to modernization, intense breeding and ultimately the loss of everything that made this plant group so special and unique. Uniformity, stiff stems with upward facing flowers, a month long vase life and sterile perfection became the yardstick they were measured by.”
“But little did I know that tucked away in backyards, sprinkled around city allotments and even planted in pots on patios and terraces throughout the world, passionate people were keeping the old breed of chrysanthemums alive for the next generation.” Erin Benzakein Floret Flowers

Chrysanthemum – ‘River City’

Chrysanthemum – ‘Billy Bell’
Truly stunning, large classic globe shape, white, slightly open petals - probably one of the more popular show varieties. When grown well there is no early flowering mum that can quite match this for size! Bold and dramatic, it's sure to turn heads with fully double, large, in-curved blooms.
This early variety blooms for me here in Zone 5 *see growing information on main category page
Pick up only - you will be notified in spring (usually March) to pick up plants
Chrysanthemum – ‘Evening Glow’
Vigorous, widely branching plants produce large, open sprays of upward-facing quilled coral-salmon blooms. A very versatile colour for arranging and a great choice for cut flower production.

Chrysanthemum – ‘Judith Baker’
Florets Library "The first time we saw this airy, deep bronze wonder, it stopped us dead in our tracks. Its palm-sized flowers are a stunning blend of rich copper and warm gold, and it mixes incredibly well with other autumn treasures. We also love to display it en masse. Tall plants produce a bumper crop of flowers and their uniform growth habit make them a great choice for cut flower growers.
