FIVE STARS

Professional Floriculture and Landscape Utility

The «Five Stars» chrysanthemum, developed by the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, is a high-performance variety designed for both commercial cut-flower production and professional landscape design. Its distinctive pompon-type flowers, reaching over 10 cm in diameter, offer a premium aesthetic with a striking purple-and-white color palette.

Production and Operational Focus

Standing over 60 cm tall, this variety requires specific management to maximize output in a greenhouse or open-field setting:

• Cut Flower Industry: With a bloom duration exceeding 40 days, this variety ensures a prolonged shelf life, significantly reducing waste in retail and distribution cycles.
• Landscaping: Reaching peak bloom in October, it provides vital late-season color when most perennials have completed their cycle, making it ideal for high-impact autumn floral displays.

For commercial growers, the key to success lies in proper vertical support for the tall stems and rigorous nutritional management during the budding phase to ensure the flowers reach their maximum genetic size. Its robust nature makes it a reliable performer for producers seeking consistent results in the late autumn market.
