Jovi's started from seed will be no id plants, as varieties can be propagated only from offsets or cuttings(vegetatively). That makes it interesting because that is how we get new varieties. Some of the bigger growers do propagate from seed, which can be why you see plants in big box stores and elsewhere without varietal names or labels. Your bulk deal couldb very likely be seed propagated jovi's.

Breeding specific plants or varieties to create new hybrids can be very interesting. That is how we got the named hybrids we all enjoy. Watch your seedlings closely to see if you have something new under the sun. Perhaps a variegated Thumbs up or polka-dotted semp or jovi will show up and be stable.
