Variety traits
Chrysanthemum x morifolium Ramat.
This trait determines plant architecture, ornamental value, and commercial quality through the number of shoots and crown diameter. Its expression depends on the cultivar type, ranging from the vigorous branching of 'multiflora' chrysanthemums to the formation of a limited number of flowering stems…
In the reference 3 varieties crop Florist's daisy, where this is mentioned in the description.
The assessment of branching includes a direct count of lateral shoots and measurement of the crown diameter, as well as a scoring of the symmetry of the plant form. The genetic potential for branching varies: the 'multiflora' group is capable of forming a dense sphere without intervention, whereas standard large-flowered chrysanthemums are predisposed to grow a limited number of stems.
The trait is a key factor in cultivation, requiring a balance between ornamental density and the need for air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Insufficient light, drought, or improper irrigation lead to internode elongation and sparse growth, reducing the varietal branching characteristics.
