GIFT FOR UFA RESIDENTS

Chrysanthemum, belonging to the aster family, is a perennial plant with a thickened and branched rhizome. Selective breeding work has been carried out at the Ufa Botanical Garden to create new varieties of Korean chrysanthemum adapted to the climatic conditions of the region. As a result of free cross-pollination and selection of hybrid seedlings, local highly decorative varieties were bred, possessing good frost hardiness, resistance to diseases and pests, as well as optimal flowering periods corresponding to the vegetation period of Bashkortostan.

One of the popular varieties is the bushy white chrysanthemum, which is widely used in floral design and floristics. This variety is distinguished by large white flowers with a bright yellow center, a long life span, and undemandingness in care. Due to its resistance to diseases and its ability to develop well both in open ground and indoors, bushy white chrysanthemum is often used to create bouquets, decorative compositions, and plantings.

Thus, chrysanthemums bred at the Ufa Botanical Garden combine decorative attractiveness and adaptation to local climatic conditions. They represent an excellent solution for greening and floristic purposes, ensuring prolonged flowering and resistance to adverse environmental factors.
