Hi @Protoavis - I found a number of seeds in the previous NALS exchanges (see my above document) that involve crossing L. nepalense with Aurelians (the product of which appears to be fertile). This might be a good start for your plans. Perhaps start with that and then cross with some heat-tolerant, out-facing trumpets?

I am growing a seedling from seed from Lane Spence where he had bred L. nepalense to Div VI. He has bred several generations from that but it is not clear if he crossed these back to more Div VI or did sibling crosses. He said there was no evidence of the purple from nepalense but there was some hints of the green color and the scent of nepalense was present. I sent me a packet of OP seed and I ended up with just one seedling that is growing (just started it this year).
