Variety traits
Bud — Garden Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum x morifolium Ramat.
The chrysanthemum bud represents a phenological developmental stage or a morphological structure in the form of an unopened inflorescence. Its condition is a key indicator for adjusting nutrient regimens, controlling photoperiodism, and determining harvest timing in commercial floriculture.
In the reference 13 varieties crop Florist's daisy, where this is mentioned in the description.
From the moment buds form, chrysanthemums are switched to phosphorus-potassium nutrition, while nitrogen is restricted to prevent excessive vegetative growth. Since the crop is photoperiod-sensitive, artificial day-length limitation is used to induce budding, though premature bud appearance on young cuttings is considered an undesirable process that requires removal to ensure proper plant architecture.
In commercial floriculture, the 'colored bud' stage serves as a benchmark for harvesting, with optimal bud diameters for large-flowered varieties ranging from 40–60 mm. In breeding, the duration of the budding period and morphological parameters such as shape and degree of pubescence are evaluated and used as varietal characteristics.
