The parentage of Trigo Royale has been debated and it seems likely that the registered parentage was an accidental error.

It has been postulated that instead of Rosinate, the other parent was a triploid Earlyana, producing a mixture of 2n and 4n Trigo Royale seedlings.

According to the article on subspecies of P. officinalis on the Peony Society website, P. officinalis huthii is native to a small region of S. and SE. France and NW. Italy. Its preferred habitat is oak, beech, or mixed oak-beech forests in limestone soil in mountain areas in a fairly narrow range of altitudes (900 - 2000 m, approx.) This probably means it isn't very vigorous in most gardens in North America.

One of hybridizer Schott Gardens, Cindy Schott's Uncle Mitchell Leichhardt's favorites. Mitchell and Ms. Wilson worked to create several hybrids.

I'm so glad someone posted closeup photos of the new leaves with the white spots. I thought my plants had a disease or fungus until I saw the white spots on other people's plants too.

Variable gray-blue-green or purplish cactus, often quite spiny, up to about 4-8 inches wide and usually wider than tall. Large for the genus, with large flowers. 0-4 central spines, 0-5 radial spines. Apical flowers are usually white or pale pink.

From Nuevo Leon and Coahuila in the Chihuahuan Desert. Two subspecies (hintonii is geographically distinct from the type), multiple varieties. Thelocactus (Thelocactus rinconensis var. phymatothelos) has greatly reduced to nearly absent spines.

This is a lovely cultivar, a strong grower here in zone 8b. It also produces proliferations. Unfortunately, it is also very susceptible to rust, so I don't recommend it if you garden in the "rust zone"--unless you spray fungicides.

Little Print is not a fancy daylily, but it has been a very good performer here in my 8b garden. It has increased from two to six fans in three growing seasons. It is taller than the registered height here. It is pollen fertile--I have not tried setting pods on it. You may notice that the eye differs in appearance in the posted pictures. Here its pattern has been that the eye is dark on first bloom and very pale ("washed magenta" from description) on rebloom. Most important has been its strong rust resistance. Little Print is an "oldie but goodie."

This is an excellent plant, one of the most vigorous, floriferous, and rust-resistant daylilies I grow here is zone 8b. Strongly recommended!!

Very vigorous grower for me... first year they were 30" tall... second year I had 3 stalks per plant and they were 37" tall. They bloomed right with my other Middle Late irises. This was a bonus from Schreiner and a very nice addition to my garden.
