The large-flowered garden chrysanthemums collection growing in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, and consisting of 180 cultivars and forms, has wide amplitude of phenotypic and genotypic variability. Moreover, it is the basis for successful breeding of chrysanthemum domestic cultivars. Promising cultivars bred on this basis in 2010−2012 passed State testing and in 2018 were included into the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation. Using the free pollination method for large-flowered chrysanthemum cultivars inside collection stands is an effective way to produce promising hybrid forms.
