Seedling question

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Seedling was found near White Dove and Thin white lines. It seems to be quite vigorous. Is there way to identify it as seedling from either plant?
Also it is blooming now. Does it mean it will bloom same time next year?

    was it ever streaked????


    do you mean LITTLE white lines ... it looks mysteriously exactly like it .... any chance it could be a piece of LWL ...?? ... its a bit rhizomatic as i recall ... sp? on that.. lol ...


    was it a seedling this spring.. ??? .. if so ... it might be out of normal phase..


    if its a few years old... then this is probably normal flowering time ...

    Thank you! So it does seems like a little white lines seedling?

    yes, it is a younger seedling which I noticed last year but did not remove till this spring, it was way out in the stepping stone crevices and seems different than parent, more glossy and upright. It is next to Pure heart and is def grown for the season well. It has rozette upright growth habit. I will watch for next year bloom then.

    seedlings rarely come straight out.. as an edged plant ... do you ever recall it being streaked???


    you cant really define heritage ... just by looking at pix .... most likely.. the proper descriptor for it would be OP x OP ... or simply.. OP ... open pollinated ...

    The most likely explanation is that a piece of Little White Lines ended up in another spot. Having said that, it is not impossible for this to be a seedling of a plant not considered to be a streaker - it would just be rare.

    With respect to bloom time, my experience has been a later bloom time in the first bloom year - I’d be interested in knowing whether this is consistent with other’s experience.

    Thanks! Will keep in mind to follow next year. I am pretty sure it started like this, found another seedling

    some of original plant does have streaks like this

    Looks like you have a few seedlings in that pic...

    The bottom pic is actually Little white lines plant, which is clumpy but some parts of it do have these streaking. I had it in same location for a number of years and moved to the pot this spring. Now am thinking should I separate stripy parts out next spring?

    Could you carefully remove the non-streaked eyes without digging up/disturbing the streaked?

    Yup, that's enough streaking to call it a "Streaked LWL" x OP seedling.

    thank you for your help! Am going to plant my valuable seedlings in the ground and see whet happens next year.
