Remontant Flowers

(called Kan Botan) were created in Japan over 300 years ago. Their winter flowers are smaller than the spring ones and the leaves do not develop fully, remaining purplish red. The winter flowers therefore look different from the spring ones. The flowers are classified into as:

large

11-13cm

medium

9 - 11 cm

small

8 - 10 cm

A single winter flower lasts ten days and the next flower opens at a somewhat long interval. Early bloomers flower in November, midseasons in December and late-midseasons from December to January.
