According to flower growers, growing Tet chrysanthemums must meet the standards of beautiful plants, green leaves and large, even flowers to compete with flowers shipped from other places. In the photo, gerbera daisies are grown on Yen Thanh land. Photo: Xuan Hoang

In the gardens, people grow many types of chrysanthemums such as: red chrysanthemums, gerbera daisies, raspberry chrysanthemums, sunflower chrysanthemums... but the most popular are still marigolds. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Because many types of chrysanthemums are grown, customers can easily choose to buy flowers right in the garden. Photo: Xuan Hoang

In Dien Chau district, Tet chrysanthemums are also grown in many communes: Dien Ky, Dien Hong, Dien Dong.... Tuyet and An, who grow flowers in Dien Ky commune, said that this Lunar New Year, their family sold about 40,000 chrysanthemums of all kinds. From the beginning of the sale, traders placed many orders, but the highest selling price was only 3,000 VND/plant, lower than last year. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Households that have grown flowers for a long time and have large areas often grow them all year round, but mostly at the end of the year to serve the Tet flower market. Customers choose the plants they like right in the field. Photo: Xuan Hoang

However, according to flower garden owners, most of the chrysanthemums have been ordered by traders in whole rows, with only a small amount left for retail sale to customers. Although the selling price has decreased compared to last year, according to flower growers, they still make a profit. Photo: Xuan Hoang

According to local data, Yen Thanh has about 15 - 20 hectares of Tet flowers; Dien Chau district has about 10 hectares. In addition, other localities such as Quynh Luu, Hoang Mai town, Vinh city, Hung Nguyen district, Nam Dan... people also grow chrysanthemums to sell during Tet quite a lot. Photo: Xuan Hoang
