Do aquilegia come true from seed? I have two different types in my

Usually only if there's only one sort locally,



No I don't think that's true - Nora Barlow types are supposed to come
true from seed and have done so with me, it's the others that seem to
cross pollinate.

I used to have a Nora Barlow type; now I've got some which show the
influence of Nora Barlow in their ancestry.

Seeds are sexually produced. Nothing can come totally
true
from seeds.

My dandelions seem to come true - year after year after year after
year. :-))

Any 'wild' plant will be as nearly pure as can be achieved sexually~~
but they must have variations that might not be all that obvious. Their DNA
would differ. An out-of-space creature probably thinks that all humans are
identical!
Only 'identical twins' have been produced asexually~~as daft as that
seems.
Best Wishes Brian.



Most dandelions are asexual.
