Hi, do any of you have any experience of growing this plant from seed ?
as to if it comes true from seed ? I grow loads of Libertia grandiflora
with no trouble (which does incredibly well in very exposed coastal
sites) but this relatively new stunning form with its red winter foliage
was very popular. I managed to split the remaining 8 plants i had left,
so i now have quite a few for next season but was wondering if anyone
had grown this from seed ? as those remaining eight have produced alot
of seed ! I'm not sure wether or not it is protected by 'breeders
rights' *If successful, it may have to now be ' Cornish Sunset' HaHaHa
!!

We don't grow that one - though I'm going to suggest it - but PBR won't
apply to you growing a few for your own garden.


Immediate correction! Having said we don't grow it, Raymond had a
re-think and said "of course we do!" *And yes, it should come true from
seed, if it hasn't 'bred' with any of your others. *We get ours as seed
from Jelitto. Presumably it's named after Lake Taupo in NZ.

Would Plant Breders Rights apply to plants raised from seed obtained
from the plants?
No garantee that they would be 100% true to type.
