Small and large sized suckers (with a difference of at least 5 cm in height) of chrysanthemum were planted on four different planting dates i.e. 18th February, 18th April, 17th June and 16th August to study their effect on blooming and flower quality. Small sized suckers resulted in longer blooming period and more number of flowers per plant. The earliest planting (18th February) took more time to initiate flowers with prolonged blooming period, greater number of flowers with extended vase-life. On the other hand, the late planting (16th August) gave the flowers with increased diameter and maximum fresh and dry weights per flower.
