My yellow clone, which I have had almost 20 years, is not a strong seed setter but I always get something even without hand-pollination. Pollination helps but I get rarely more than 2-3 seeds per capsule. In my experience it comes perfectly true from seed, though I have read that others only get a certain percentage of yellows. The yellow is the only V. bracteata I grow at present. Anyone growing a yellow or white form of V. capensis?
