JungleShadows said:Wanted to report that the really dramatically white tipped seedling from 'Sandy's Silver Crest' sedum is still really tipped. One of the sister seedlings has much more pink tips, which is a pretty effect too. Most are plain green with nothing too interesting going on, which makes me wonder if the plant is chimeral or is heterozygous for this white tipped condition. That might explain why it occurs more spasmodically. So far none of the seedlings has crested but generally that occurs after the plant is established. That used to drive Helen CRAZY as of course she wanted to send out plants that looked just like the photos in her book: crested and white tipped. Am sure glad that Polly had retained this and shared it with others in MA; I don't know any dealer who lists it. Hopefully I'l have the new and improved version on the market soon too. Am excited about some other sedum seedlings too. Think there's still much to be done with them and so many interesting species.
