Chrysanths in the Glasshouse at Wisley

Glasshouse at Wisley, 7 - 29 November
See varied displays of charm and cascade chrysanthemums alongside a selection of stunning Japanese varieties. These floral arrangements are the result of 10-months vigilant watering, pinching and staking behind the scenes by the Glasshouse team. The collection of cascade and charm chrysanthemums were first shown at the RHS Westminster shows in the 1930’s and have developed to become an annual November feature in the garden. In recent years more fascinating oriental varieties including the Japanese emperors Chrysanthemum have been added to the collection. The Wisley chrysanthemum collection adds up to almost 100 different varieties and each charm chrysanthemum will carry up to 500 perfectly formed flowers about the size of a 10p. It takes about 10 months to grow the plants for a 4 week flowering period throughout November.
