Chill is a beautiful extra early, ruffled near-white with green veins and a sunfast green throat. It opens with [[Stella De Oro]], plus or minus a week. There's nothing else that pretty at that time of year. Even better, Chill opens well after a 48 degree night. | Chill is a beautiful extra early, ruffled near-white with green veins and a sunfast green throat.

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.
