Chrysanthemum Antonov

Chrysanthemum Antonov

While the name Antonov does not have the same grandiosity as that of the American Boeing or McDonnell Douglas, builder of the DC aircraft, Russian aircraft manufacturer Antonov did develop the world's largest airplane, the Antonov An-225. Intended to be an aircraft for the transport of space shuttles, it was also suitable for other cargo. And just like this Antonov was famous for its sheer size, size is what sets this Chrysanthemum Antonov, which bears the same name, apart.

Big Is Beautiful

The flowers of the white disbudded Antonov chrysanthemum can grow up to 20 centimeters. This creates a monumental impression, which gives Antonov an exclusive and luxurious appeal that no American can equal.

Chrysanthemum Care Tips

• Use a clean vase and fresh tap water
• Add liquid or powdered flower food
• Cut 3 – 5 cm from the stem using a clean knife or secateurs
• Make sure there are no leaves in the water
• Chrysanthemums, like all cut flowers, are sensitive to draughts and direct heat
• Don’t place the chrysanthemums next to ripening fruit or vegetables. The ethylene produced by the fruit and vegetables makes the flowers die earlier
• Top up the vase with fresh tap water
• Refresh the water every few days when it gets cloudy
