Potsize - 1L
Anthemis 'Susanna Mitchell' is a lovely English hybrid perennial marguerite, between A. cupaniana and A. tinctoria, with creamy coloured single daisies with primrose yellow centres over a mass of silvery ferny foliage. Its cupaniana parentage gives it the lovely weed smothering mound of silvery filigree foliage and its ability to flower from as early as April, whilst A.tinctoria gives it the subtle creamy yellow hue and a bit more height (up to 50cm). A perfect plant for early insects with its rich nectar source, it enjoys a sunny spot in well drained, even a bit dry soils. It was found as a chance hybrid in the mid 1980's in the garden of Susana Mitchell and introduced in the 1990's by Blooms. Susanna planted Anthemis tinctoria, a plant that had been handed down in the family from her great Grandmother, next to Anthemis cupaniana. A chance seedling grew up and was admired, prompting her to deliberately make the cross subsequent times. Her daughter Susie Mitchell still grows the same Anthemis tinctoria and uses her Mother's lovely cross as her signature in all the gardens she creates and tends as
Cotswold Garden Creations.
Please note, if you are looking for the pure white Anthemis, it is A.cupaniana you want. Susanna Mitchell is cream, fading from lemon.
