Variety traits

Chrysanthemum Maturity Group

Chrysanthemum L.

Classification of chrysanthemum cultivars based on flowering time, determined by the number of days from planting to bud coloration or flower opening.

In the reference 209 varieties crop Chrysanthemum, where this is mentioned in the description.

Chrysanthemum maturity groups are defined as the number of days elapsed from planting to the flowering phase. In breeding practice, cultivars are categorized into very early (61–80 days), early (81–100 days), mid-season (101–120 days), late (121–140 days), and very late (141–160 days).

This classification serves as a production planning tool, allowing agronomists to organize a staggered flowering schedule. The indicator determines the necessity for adjusting light regimes, including supplemental lighting or shading, to ensure flowering by the scheduled date under protected ground conditions.
