Artemisia cut flowers harvest and preservation

**Other Names:** White Flower Aberdeen, White Chrysanthemum, Wood Chrysanthemum, Wood Wormwood **Family:** Chrysanthemum genus **Origin:** Spain **Botanical Characteristics:** Chrysanthemum is a perennial herb or evergreen subshrub that typically grows to about 1 meter in height. The plant is generally hairless and features showy flower heads with long pedicels. The ray flowers are usually white and number between 1 to 3, while the tubular flowers are numerous and yellow. This variety blooms naturally from February to October, making it a popular choice for ornamental use throughout much of the year. **Cut Flower Harvesting:** The harvested part consists of the stemmed inflorescence. Flowers should be picked when the ray flowers are fully open, ideally during the cooler morning hours. After harvesting, the flowers must be immediately placed in water and pre-cooled to maintain freshness and quality. **Grading Standards:** Before reaching their full visual potential, cut flowers should be graded based on appearance, absence of damage or contamination, and overall aesthetic appeal. The first cut is usually around 55 cm, the second about 50 cm, and the third approximately 45 cm. The length difference within the same grade should not exceed 1.5 cm. **Packaging Guidelines:** Same-grade chrysanthemum inflorescences are bundled into groups of 10 and secured in lined corrugated cardboard boxes. Each box should clearly display the product name and include ventilation holes to ensure proper air circulation. **Storage Management:** For optimal preservation, cut flowers should be stored in a cool environment with a relative humidity of 90% to 95% and a temperature between 2°C and 5°C. It's crucial to keep the flowers hydrated by inserting them in water whenever possible, especially during storage and transportation. **Storage Duration:** Under these conditions, the stem inflorescences can remain fresh for 3 to 5 days without losing their decorative value. **Gardening and Decorative Uses:** With its soft white color and extended blooming period, this chrysanthemum variety is ideal for floral arrangements, bringing a rustic and natural feel to any space. It’s particularly effective in decorating dimly lit rooms, adding warmth and vibrancy to the surroundings. **Selling Tips:** Wormwood chrysanthemum flowers are most commonly available during spring and autumn. Due to seasonal cultivation, it’s advisable to plan marketing efforts in advance to meet demand.
