Chrysanthemum El Tora is a striking variety known for its bold colouration and impressive bloom form. It is suited to container growing or near the front of the border in the garden. Whilst the stems are a little short for a traditional bouquets their shorter stems still hold up well in a small vase. The longest I've harvested is 50cm
