Actually, is not considered an interspecific hybrid any longer. The hybridizer later decided that the "hispanica" that he used as a parent was actually a tall, dark-calyced S. mexicana form that was being mistakenly sold as "hispanica" at that time in California. Therefore, it is just an intraspecific hybrid since the other parent was also S. mexicana, 'Limelight'.

My plant sets plenty of seeds. I got my plant from you, Kermit, and Judy got her original seeds from me.

Kermit, I am confused that you say that you have never seen seed on it because a couple of years ago you told me that you had collected seed from it but that the seedlings were variable.
