Pod Parent Flowers
 
 
Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Growing mounted on a log in full sun outdoors in San Diego, exposed to wide temperature variation (40°F's to 90°F's).
 
Comments: Out-crossed to a very nice labiata var. semi-alba, we should get 50% semi-albas with the really wonderful shape of the pod parent. Of course, there are no guarantees, now are there?

Pod parent plant: A very strong growing, beautiful labiata with rich lavender coloration. This cultivar resulted from the crossing of two semi-albas ('Marima' x 'Anger'), obviously of different gene loci. Medium-sized plant. Reliable seasonal bloomer.
