one plant from our collection:



we crossed it with other asterias cv and the seeds are in the propagator now.
do you have experience with this cultivar?
Is it better to cross it with which plant to get the best result?

thanks

Use the Alps super kabuto as father plant and cross to large flecking super kabuto If you have only one Alps.

Carlo & Daniele

we crossed it with snow kabuto and V-type, but using alps as motherplant.
thanks for the tip Frank, we will adopt it for next season!

i agree with Frank, use alps as father plants,you have more possibility to have  nicer results in f1 seeds

dag

what is the exact definition of an ALPS superkabuto ? is it only the snow white color or does the shape matter ?

Astro

It is possible a question? My plants Alps ore Snow ?

Carlo & Daniele

We usually saw starshape white forms sold as 'Alps' and only white forms as 'Snow', but also other forms sold as 'snow starshape'...
so we are not very sure about the name, let's wait if someone else has info.
Great plant by the way! Did you get nice seedlings from it?

 This plant at me 5 years. First two years it did not blossom in general. Last three years this plant has sterile flowers. On it never was seeds, but its pollen I pollinated a considerable quantity good Supercabuto. I already have a quantity perspective young Kabuto.
