My experience in crossing with species is: most of the seedlings are disappointing - if there is something special still hidden in their genetics you need a lot of patience to bring it out.


That is what I suspected might be the case. Unless a Europa seedling was a particularly great or intriguing bloom I almost certainly wouldn't pursure working with it...

Growing like weed is not really a feature for a garden plant - making runners and spreading through beds like H. fulva Europa isn't either.


Hilarious! Good points! I guess if a Europa seedling lost the invasiveness but kept the toughness it might be interesting...
