I want an invasive plant!
Dave Gower wrote: "Jim W" wrote And if you get one of the cultivars (several hundred or so available) it will be even more interesting;-) Pardon my ignorance, but what is a cultivar? Cultivar is a horticultural abbreviation for "cultivated variety". It is a plant that has been selectively bred for a special feature - unusual or variegated foliage, bloom color, size or time, dwarf size, etc. They are typically given a name written in single quotation marks which distinguishes them from the straight species. For example, Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen' is a cultivar of oakleaf hydrangea that was selected for the size and shape of its blossoms, which tend to be larger and more heavily comprised of sterile florets than the species. pam - gardengal |
