The very first selection of A. flavum var.
tauricum to
flower is one named 'Pastel Parasol'. It demonstrates
the extreme variability with the "tauricum" progeny,
growing only 3" tall, a true dwarf with prostrate foliage.
It's also unique on account of the near-white flowers
and an impressive floriferous tendency. Many of the
"tauricums" have spring foliage that is completely
prostrate, but typically these eventually turn or bend
upwards to a modest height of 8" - 12" (20 - 30 cm).
In this selection, the whole affair stays close to the
ground. The fragrant flowers appear in June.

Above the plant and to the right, is a pink-flowered
plant named 'Pink Parasol', a sibling selection.
