Genetic Variation and Native Plant Design: All Coral Bells Are Not Created Equal

Wednesday, August 12th, 1 – 2:30 p.m. EST (Noon – 1:30 p.m. CDT)

Are straight species grown from seed always the best choice? Are cultivars always bad? Our opinions of both are often colored by the limited genetics in the nursery trade; but many species are far more genetically diverse. Even cultivars can have illuminating stories to tell. This lecture will explore the practical implications of genetic variation, ecotypes, cultivars, and the real impacts these can have on how a plant will look and behave in the landscape.
