It is either a direct parent or in the ancestry of nearly 900 registered crosses to date.

It has an almost pure white flower, is not particularly large or full-formed,it is a prolific breeder.

While its whiteness proves to be highly dominant, its deficits in size and form are generally recessive and can be relatively easily overcome.

These two traits of F C Puddle’s breeding, together with its high fertility, have made it instrumental as a white parent.

From this starting point, many fine crosses have come about.

This next step toward better whites generally involved crossing F C Puddle to other complex greens or golds to get bigger, fuller form.

Usually the other parent had a great deal of insigne in its background and this often helped to improve flower size.
