Re: Variegates from Seed

     Do you know where I might come by some Ballota?  I had a B. dictamnus 
     that I picked up at Berkeley Hort, sold as a "mystery plant," but 
     ultimately it was eaten by my ex-roommate's ex-dog (not a cat!, haha). 
     I really loved that thing, and have never seen any since.

I am normally told not to expect variegated plants to come true from 
seed, but I have been told that Ballota nigra variegata and Calamintha 
grandiflora variegata are exceptions to this. Indeed, I have already 
proven to myself that this is true regarding the Ballota, that a 
significant amount of plants from seed (though not all) will also be 
variegated.
     
Would anyone like to add more such plants to such a list? I am wondering 
if Agastache cana variegata comes true from seed at all, or any of the 
Artemisias.
     
(Would anyone like to also try to clear up some confusion whether or not 
Artemisia vulgaris variegata and Artemisia versicolor (=A. indica) are 
the same thing?)
     
Good Gardening!
