Only 2 branches and 8 buds in my garden this year. Normally, I wouldn't introduce a plant with such a low budcount, but Chill has fantastic breeding potential: see its kids below (three future introductions with much better branching and budcount.) Chill also may be prone to spring sickness. I haven't seen that in the kids, though. | Only 2 branches and 8 buds in my garden this year.

| − | Chill is a near-white whose tone can vary greatly with the temperature. At cool temperatures it is melon toned, and in warm temperatures it takes on a very light yellow tone. | + | Chill is a near-white whose tone can vary greatly with the temperature.

The following picture shows Chill in warm weather photographed indirect sun, to maximize the appearance of yellowness. It never looks that yellow to the eye |

I don't think I've observed Chill well enough to recommend it as more than a hybridizing plant. I haven't yet had it grown outside of MA and NH: who knows what it might do in warmer or wetter climates? I think it will produce more buds than in my garden. But at diploid prices, you can take a chance, and I'll update this page as I get feedback. | I don't think I've observed Chill well enough to recommend it as more than a hybridizing plant.
