Dear Annner: I have not grown PALTEC for many years. To the best of my
knowledge it is sterile. But I do also grow I tectorum, the "violet" form,
and some of its pollen could have been carried by insects. Even so, I would
have hoped fo r the odd white seedling. It would seem the white is a
recessive. Sincerely, Lloyd Zurbrigg in Durham NC Zone 7.5 to 8.
