Horticultural Classification Codes

Horticultural Classification Codes are often given to genera which have a large number of species or cultivars. They are used to categorise cultivated plants based on specific, shared characteristics such as shape, colour, size or flowering time, and can be displayed as letters or numbers

For example:
Dahlia ‘Sunset Kate (Sin) = Single flower
Rosa ‘Marigold’ (HT) = Hybrid Tea: Bullatae primula are subwoody with leathery, puckered leaves with a mealy coating known as 'farina'. Flowers are dark yellow, rarely pale yellow or whitish to pale pink, with a green, sticky, bell-shaped calyx
