Are all named cultivars a hybrid, and thus won't come true to seed? Or is it only the ones with a 'x' in their name that are hybrids? Or am I way off base? I have noted in some of the database entries, there will be a notation of 'comes true to seed' or 'does not come true to seed.' I'm not much of a seed guy, but after a recent road trip, came home to lots of ripe seeds that I would have normally deadheaded off when the blooms were spent. I had some fun today gathering and cleaning seeds from Salvia 'Blue Queen' - then got to wondering if it makes any sense to store these, or just go back to my normal habit of splitting perennials I want to multiply. I assume any that are not a named cultivar will be OK to save, correct? For example, I have some generic Nigella that is all podded up, and this did reseed itself last year, so I'm guessing I can let the seed mature and harvest those. Although, now that I think about it, the first year there was a mix of pink and purple, and this year it was all mostly purple. No problem for me, I'm not much of a pink guy either.
