I am wondering if the seedlings from the different named Cimicifuga will
give a true offspring or if we get a variation?
I wonder what experience you have with these seedlings you are grow Marge?
I have C.r.'Atropurpurea' myself ... and saved seeds this last autumn. I
have heard they are extremly difficulty to get to germinate etc? But I
would not care if I manange, becuase between all the fragrant plants in my
garden I think this has the best fragrance of all!
Has anyone else tried sow seeds from 'Atropurpurea' and have comments about
how offpring vary I will be glad for it?
