Title: chaenorhinum and chrysanthemum parthenium santana
Post by: rowlandwells on February 27, 2020, 13:14
I may be jumping in at the deep end asking about these couple of flowers well I took a fancy to having a go at growing these varieties after looking through the seed catalogue for I forget how many times but not having grew these varieties before I though I would ask if anyone could give me any info

so the first chaenorhinum a perennial takes around four months from sowing to flowering it has blue flowers with contrasting white eyes with a semi-cascading habit [looks good in the catalogue :D]

the second flower is a chrysanthemum parthenium santana this variety resembles a small Anemone-flowered 'pot mum' and can be grew all year round as i said it is part of the chrysanthemum family   

i know i mite be clutching at straws on this one but if anyone could offer any growing info it would be very much appreciated RW

The first one does look very pretty, I'm tempted to try some on my rockery  ::)

The second one is a double flowered Feverfew, so should be dead easy to grow. I have the white flowered one and it seeds itself around quite generously here :)
