Question for those who may have some experience with ventricosa.
I've been told that it "comes true" from seed. I also understand it
is suppose to be a tetraploid.
This spring I planted quite a few seeds from ventricosa Aureomarginata
open pollinated and the germination was VERY low and I would say most
of them look like hybrids to me and several are clearly hybrids. Is
there any difference between ventricosa and ventricosa Aureomarginata
in terms of supposely Apomixic behavior?
