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: Yunnannenses primulas are usually short-lived biennials, suited to rocks and crevices. The leaves are narrow with a yellow mealy coating beneath and fragrant, bell-shaped rose pink to lilac flowers with a yellow eye
