Evergreen, Chartreuse-yellow flowers around St. Patrick's Day. Compact plant, regular water

By: Lael's Moon Garden

This hybrid is from Dr. R. L. Ticknor of the North Willamette Experiment Station, Oregon State University. The plant is extremely compact and wider than high. The flower color, chartreuse, and the bloom time around St. Patrick's Day go right along with its name. Planted with 'Ramapo', 'Moerheim' or other blue-purple dwarfs creates an exciting color contrast in the garden. (keiskei dwarf form x hanceanum 'Nanum')
