Disbudded chrysanthemums

A spray chrysanthemum has multiple flowers on a stem. With the disbudded chrysanthemum, workers remove all the flowers from the stem apart from one after seven weeks. That single flower that has the opportunity to grow into a large and powerful bloom. So you can imagine what a powerful flower that is. There are multiple cultivars, of which we would like to highlight two for you: the Couture and the Alemani. We would also like to give you a big dose of inspiration as to what you can do with these flowers. We hope you enjoy reading it!

Disbudded chrysanthemums throughout the year

In the past, disbudded chrysanthemums were mainly an autumn flower. Over the past fifteen years, they have become a product that is sold all year round. The growers take account of the seasons in terms of colours: in the autumn we see a lot of shades of orange and brown, while there is more focus on shades of pink in the spring.

Couture

At the end of 2021, grower Arcadia Chrysanten presented the latest disbudded chrysanthemum: Couture. A dark pink chrysanthemum that is inspired by haute couture, the top segment in fashion. This is a real eyecatcher with a unique colour. Couture’s large double flowers and the twisted heart lend it a chic look. The grey on the underside of the petals gives an exceptional effect. With strong stems and long vase life, Couture offers everything to steal the show.

Alemani

The Alemani fits perfectly with the green trend whereby we are bringing nature into our homes. Botanical prints, a collection of green houseplants and an abundance of natural materials. The green, large-flowered disbudded chrysanthemum Alemani fits perfectly with this trend. It has strong stems and a long vase life. Top quality for use in any arrangement or bouquet! This disbudded chrysanthemum is grown by Zentoo.

Inspiration

We’re delighted to show you various arrangements and bouquets that incorporate Alemani and Couture. You can find more inspiration on our FlowerFriends page - the community where you can be inspired by colleagues all over the world.
