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: This genus produces fruit, but not necessarily edible fruit

How to Grow

Cultivation

Grow in moisture-retentive, fertile, ideally slightly acidic soil, which is well-drained and weed free. For best results, plant in a sunny position. They will tolerate light shade, but may produce a smaller crop. Train raspberries in rows using wires for support. May have the potential to become a nuisance if not managed well. See raspberry cultivation

Propagation

Lift healthy suckers that appear between the rows and replant in a new spot. You can also divide large clumps when dormant
