Over the last 8 years we have selected and developed many new plat cultivars. This is the page about them. Propagating plant from seeds, from a wide collection of perennials and ornamental grasses, can result over the years in a very interesting combination of characters which can give rise to new cultivars. Occasionally spontaneous mutations or sports can arise from existing cultivars or species. Propagating them and testing their stability can result in new interesting and unique varieties of plants.
