I tried to cross reds and purples with it last year in order to get versions of 'Plastic' in those shades. The result? ONE seedling up. I'll try again this year and may use 'Plastic' pollen instead of setting seed on it. 'Weirdo' did about as well. From every flower crossed with 'Unicorn' I have one seedling up. I did expect the problems with 'Weirdo' as its flowers are very abnormal but the flowers on 'Plastioc' LOOK normal. Could be my choice of parents too. Some combinations don't make much viable seed.

Anyway, I'm sure I would like a version of this plant in different colors and maybe twice as large too.
