Re: schachii or suaveolens [2 Attachments]

 

Hi Rodney --
  My I. suaveolens is the purple form, but one thing I noticed is the way the leaves form.  They are one on top of another. almost forming a pseudo-stem, except that there is no scape.  The leaves are strongly curved concave down with the edge toward the axis, forming a flat plant.  The picture included is from some years ago -- it's not the best to demonstrate, but it's the best I have.  I tend to agree with the previous writer that your plant is not suaveolens.

G,

Thanks for the input! Of course, my seed may not be true either. It is a little taller but not much. I'll take a ruler to it tomorrow.

My I. sauveolens grown from SIGNA seed would not match this well. This assumes provenance of my seed was correct, of course. Assuming so - I. sauveolens growing here has more refined foliage with narrower and more strongly re-curved leaves. Tips of leaves in particular are distinctly more pointed. Flower is narrower of fall and both falls and stands more refined. Total sauveolens plant and bloom can be as little as 3-4" high. Yours looks a little larger ? Taken all together - would guess you have I. schactii. All this from memory so take as passing observation only.

Hi All,I grew this from seed. It should be I. schachii or suaveolens. I had seed of both, but I lost track. Does anyone have to guess as to which it might be?Rodney
