Cyp. Anna

[silken]

Cyp. Anna (Cyp. parviflorum var. parviflorum x Cyp. macranthos var. hotei-atsumorianum). Thank goodness it was registered with a nice short name like Cyp. Anna! I got this as a single dormant growth in fall of 2013. I planted it in a flower bed in my back yard and mulched with leaves to get ready for winter where we can get days of -40. It grew a single growth last year but didn't bloom. This year it is two growths with 1 bloom. I hope it continues to multiply and do well.

I'm thinking of planting cyps in my garden too, just have to find the right spot.

Aww, you staked it!

We must have similar tastes because I just bought one of these this spring. One growth, no bloom this year, same as you! Looking forward to a bloom next year then!

Yes, it seemed flopped over and it has been windy here, so I staked it

I hope yours blooms next year. Yours will have a much milder winter to contend with so it should!

Oh my goodness, I love it. I am seriously going to have to try some of these some day.

Thanks

I might get myself another hybrid some time too. Trouble is my flower beds are quite well established with perennials and then just space for some colourful annuals each year. So I need to find a spot. Some lilies are threating to crowd this one out already.

The Frosch website does mention these can be pot grown, but do I need another pot to add to the collection. I think it would still have to be chilled and go dormant for winter.

Wonderful! I love that you can grow this in your flowerbed!

It's a beauty, Silken.

Thanks Sonya and Paphluvr. It is still looking nice so that's not bad for an outdoor slipper.
