Parry's easter daisy

[cohan]

Here is one of the plants I mentioned above, it is in a bed in front of the house, so it's warmer and sunnier than the bed where several others are in bud, but unlikely to open unless we get another warm spell.. I did put a tarp over part of this bed during our two coldest nights (somewhere between -5 an d-9C) not sure if it was necessary or not..
Not quite fully open, but enough to be satisfying!

Very adoreable! Have to consider trying it I think!

From the earlier posts, I guess they aren't usually as stemless as these- this is probably just due to cold, but Lori could say for sure, the seed came from her a couple of years ago...
I'll let you know when I get seed, though I doubt this one will be making any-- currently partly covered in snow, though it should warm up again in the next couple of days..

I'd like to add some more information about T.parryi cultivation in Central Europe. In my garden it is growing well in crevice garden, in sand bed and in regular amphibolite rock garden (90% of grit), also in a trough. My plants come from different sources and I can see some variablity in shape of flower, petals and height. I've never seen any descriprions of varieties or plants coming from different localities - has anyone seen that? Photos of different forms attached.

All looking good, Michael, mine are all growing in a mix of our natural clayey soil with gravel (more gravel top few inches, more soil below) in somewhat sloped raised rock beds..
