As one of the few gardeners growing multi-colored chrysanthemums, farmer Tran Van Ut Hung, residing in Tan Khanh Dong commune, Sa Dec city, Dong Thap province - said that this year he planted more than 10,000 flower baskets to sell for Tet. Of these, there are 600 multi-colored chrysanthemums with 2 colors: purple and red.

Nearly a month ago, when the tree had just started budding, traders came and bought it all in advance. Because it was grown in small pots, he sold it in the garden for 140,000 VND/pair.

Mr. Hung said that compared to traditional raspberry chrysanthemums, the advantage of this multi-color raspberry chrysanthemum variety is that it has nearly 10 colors. The growing time is also faster, only more than 3 months before it can be sold. Because it is new and first appeared, many people are looking to buy it. Currently, depending on the size of the pot and the number of flowers in the pot, the selling price at Sa Dec Flower Village ranges from 140,000 VND to 400,000 VND/pair.

Previously, due to pre-orders for the Sa Dec Flower and Ornamental Festival, the entire Sa Dec Flower Village only had about 3,000 baskets of multi-colored raspberry chrysanthemums that were processed to bloom early. The colorful raspberry chrysanthemums that first appeared became a “phenomenon” that attracted attention, many people expressed regret when there were no more flowers to buy.
