Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Dendranthema x grandiflorum ‘Quilled Pink’

A cultivar of Dendranthema x grandiflorum Kitam. Incurving ranunculus flowered.  ‘Of tall stature, and one of the very latest in blooming; but very handsome, and repaying by its beauty every care bestowed upon it by the gardener.  It has been called the most beautiful of all; but with me it yields to the gold-bordered Red.’    [FC p.73/1833].  ‘Introduced by the Horticultural Society in August 1819, and flowered in the garden the following year.  One of the latest importations from China, and in regard to the blossom, certainly one of the finest; but flowers produced late in the year and rather sparingly.’  [BR f.616/1822].
