Ib 191, cut back when the flowers have passed their best, in a pot needs a little protection to grow next year, I used to take cuttings when an exhibitor, now I tease off rooted shoots in the spring for next years flowers.
I now realise saying singles isn't what I meant should have said daisy eyed, and multiple headed chrysanths, though I do like single flowering varieties too.
I couldn't find a label with a name for the red Chrysanth, however it seems that perhaps these don't attract bees, so which do Cornelly, is it the daisy eyed or single?
Thanks for looking. Re. bees, I think it would be ones where you can see a central disk of fertile bits (usually yellow) with the sterile petal parts around it, not just a mass of petals. Could be classified as singles or sprays, I guess.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Thank you for clarifying JennyJ, I wasn't too sure of the explanation. At the moment we don't have many bees flying about - the wind has been too strong and the drop in temperature has probably encouraged them to hibernate, although I did see one on a rose over the w/end.
