The CCM is really not awarded to the plant but to the exhibitor. Though it is often included in the information for a plant it really does not belong with the plant at all, whether divided or undivided. It is a one time, one blooming award. The manual for the AOS says: "CCM (Certificate of Cultural Merit) -
Awarded to the exhibitor of a well-flowered specimen plant of robust health. The plant must score more between 80 and 89 points inclusive on a 100-point scale."
