Hermitage

Chrysanthemum 'Hermitage' is a bright and distinctive variety created by scientists of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, one of Russia's oldest research institutions. The variety's name is linked to the world-renowned Russian museum — the State Hermitage, highlighting its cultural and historical significance. This flower has become a symbol of cooperation and interaction between scientific and cultural institutions.

The plant reaches a height of 90-100 cm and features large spider-type double and semi-double inflorescences with a diameter of 15-16 cm. The variety belongs to the medium flowering period, which on the Southern Shore of Crimea occurs in the third week of October. Due to its beauty and unique characteristics, chrysanthemum 'Hermitage' is very popular among floricultivists and was recognized as the Super-King of Chrysanthemum Balls of the last decade.

This variety not only adorns gardens and collections but also holds prospects for further development and scientific collaboration, evidenced by its presentation to the General Director of the State Hermitage at an international forum. Chrysanthemum 'Hermitage' is an important part of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden's collection and symbolizes the continuation of breeding traditions and cultural exchange.
