Chrysanthemum

The 'Sutinky' variety of chrysanthemum is an early-flowering Korean bush-type chrysanthemum, Ukrainian selection, with a compact and dense bush up to 35-45 cm tall. The leaves are slightly lobed, giving the plant a neat and well-groomed appearance. The flower heads are semi-double, 8-10 cm in diameter, with ray florets half-tubular, colored in pink-magenta. Flowering begins in early September, allowing the garden to be adorned at the end of summer and beginning of autumn.

The 'Sutinky' chrysanthemum has good winter hardiness and can survive winter without protection in Ukrainian climatic zones. For successful cultivation, use fertile and loose soil with moderate fertilizer application to avoid excessive green mass growth at the expense of flowering. The plant prefers sunny locations, regular watering, and well-drained soil. Due to its low-growing and compact appearance, this variety is ideal for decorating living borders and marking garden paths.

In addition to its decorative qualities, the 'Sutinky' chrysanthemum has a useful property of repelling pests such as cabbage moth, making it a good companion for cabbage, potato, and tomato crops. This combination of beauty and functionality makes this variety an attractive choice for gardeners aiming to create a beautiful and healthy garden space.
