A possibility to get little N. triandrus hybrids is to cross N. triandrus pallidulus with Emerald Sea or other viridiflorus hybrids. The size of the fllowers in the picture is about 3 cm, the height of the stem about 16 cm. The two seedlings are flowering in the greenhouse. I had many seedlings outdoors, but the plants were destroyed by frost. I think in the Netherlands it is possible to grow them in the field. The question there is: Do they flower before winter or early in spring?
Hi Theo,
Lovely and remarkable. Seems just about the size of the N. tri. pallidulus species but with a fabulous early flowering component of N. viridiflorus with a hint of green. Might have some value in the commercial market as a Christmas blooming pot plant requiring no real forcing.
Does it or any of its siblings have a fragrance?
Thanks for the posting,
Steve
Theo, this is a charming little plant. I love the little triandrus, but can’t keep them. Actually, I have trouble with the larger hybrids in the garden as well.
Thanks for posting.
Steve,
The two seedlings have nearly no fragrance, in contrary to all, till now five , flowering seedlings of N. cantabricus x Emerald Sea which have an intense scent similar to N. viridiflorus.
