Dear Judy,
I really like your website. Thanks for providing so much information. I am thinking of buying some chrysanthemum President Ozaka because of their very late flowers. I am not quite clear how hardy they are though. I wondered if you might be able to give me some advice on whether they need protection over winter? (I live in Surrey but might also get one for a friend in Norfolk).
All the best,
Freya

Dear Emma,
No sorry garden centres do not at present sell these older chry. So go to where to buy on my site, adding Woottens Plants and Hayloft Plants.
Hope this helps. The plants on my open allotments are loving the cold, but do plant where they will not be waterlogged. Mingle them with other late good perennials. If you are successful do please send me pictures and a link Judy

Hope you might be able to help, I have been through the excel spreadsheet for this which is very helpful - I am looking for chrysanthemums which would have been popular in the english garden from 1928-1940ish particularly on a site which will sell traditional plants and provide information on dates with them. I have searched for those detailed on the excel spreadsheet and cannot find the names on gardencentres online. any help appreciated thanks Emma

Matthew these plants will need complete frost protection. As they are standards just trim back gently keeping the main shape. These plants are usually treated as annuals in this country so good luck

I don’t know if you are able to answer this gardening query but I’d be very grateful if you can.
I live in London and have 2 fine chrysanthemum margueritas bought last spring in standard shape. They are still flowering. I want to over-winter them but can’t find out how from the websites. Can I just protect them from frost and leave them? Or should I cut them down?
Any help very welcome.
Thanks
Matthew

This very cold winter (2009-2010) one of each type of plant were backed up into pots, placed on top of Mypex under sturdy wire hoops and covered with one sheet of polythene and left all winter exposed to the cold. All survived putting on strong new growth.
So they are ALL cold hardy but not all are wet hardy. Plus slugs in the ground treat the new growth as Chop Suey Greens. but there are plants the slugs do not eat and are wet tolerant as well, which makes interesting observations.

Very Interested to know how your plants survived that horrendous winter? A real test for hardiness I would have thought!

To all readers I wish to use this message board to set up a nationwide discussion topicon garden chrysanthemums. What attributes do you like, hardiness, late flowering, earlier cushion forms? As half of the National Collection @ 100 cultivars will be in this years Wisley Field Trials flowering 3 seasons, with hardiness over two winters. So will post pictures and comments as we proceed.
If you have an old plant in your garden plese contact me. Thanks Judy
