This Anthemis was bred by Susanna Michell of the UK, it is a cross between Anthemis cupaniana and Anthemis tinctorial.
It has the silver-grey foliage of Anthemis cupaniana and the flowering habit of Anthemis tinctorial.
It makes a good compact plant, ideal in borders and patio planters. It flowers all summer.
Large creamy yellow daisies above silver gey fern like foliage.
Height 50cm Spread 90cm
This plant is also good for dry areas of the garden, it likes full sun.
This shows what can be created by plant breeding and simple selection and trialing.
I trialled the plant prior to it being introduced and it impressed during the trials.
So now is the time to be busy looking at your flowering plants and those that are flowering from your selections and breeding work and making further crosses and selections.
As you can see from the picture above new cultivars can be from plant breeding and crossing.
Keep records of any crossings you make.
Get the camera ready to take photos to record your work.
For developing your new plant breeding selection or new plant discovery I can offer full trialling and new plant development service more details available on my website.
