This was my first year to actually (try to) germinate some donated seeds (I will never see a seed pod on any of my plants, three of which are over 25 years old). It has been hit-or-miss but I do now have 8 seedlings. Some have names (I assume the plant that bore the seed-pod) and some just state the flower coloration. But regardless, when they grow I guess they will all be NOIDs, or is there a way to label the plants?
Why would one use a seedling for root stock rather than a named plant, one that has been around for decades and is known to be an excellent plant to use as a root stock plant? How would you know which seedlings make good root stock and which do not, particularly if you have never even seen the seedling flower?
I apologize for asking so many questions.
