The Chrysanthemum assortment has been extensive for years, ranging from small-flowered to large-flowered, and from spray chrysanthemums to disbud chrysanthemums… and everything in between. However, the Chrysanthemum assortment never gets boring because a lot of attention and energy is put into product development and innovation. One of the leading chrysanthemum breeders is Dekker Chrysanten from Hensbroek in North Holland. Throughout the year (5 times), this breeder organizes the Chrysanthemum Valley Days to keep the (inter)national professional floricultural audience well-informed about the developments in the assortment and the promising novelties.
This spring, a beauty of a Santini was introduced in collaboration with the Zentoo growers’ collective. This novelty, Chrysant Santini AAA ‘Bluff’, stands out with its spoon-shaped petals, a characteristic that adds something special to its ornamental value. Now it is up to the creative floral artists, typically found at florists, garden centers, and flower arrangers, to determine how this pink Santini with a green heart and spoon-shaped petals can be best showcased. Whether solitary or combined into a beautiful arrangement or floral work.
What stands out about the name given to this Santini by breeder Dekker Chrysanten is the ‘Triple A’ preceding the species name. With AAA, Dekker Chrysanten brings Santinis to the market that excels in color, flower shape, longevity, and chain suitability. In short, you can and should expect something extra from these Santinis!
