I grew all mine from seed except H. dalmatica 'Grandiflora', and they are very good germinators, which is not surprising considering how little they increase vegetatively. I'll try to provide more seeds next year. This year I sent H. leucophaea seed to NARGS but the cataloger listed it as a subsp of H. atchleyi, which surprised me as they don't look very similar in foliage and shape of inflorescence. H. leucophaea is the only pure white one I grow and quite beautiful for a tiny plant. Jane McGary Portland, Oregon, USA
