Breeder's notes:
HMF entry date: 13th., Feb., 2012. Hybrid hulthemia from OP seed supplied by Jim Sproul from Jim's seedling code named "K206". Germinated in Australia by Simon Voorwinde. Seedling first flowered 13th Feb. 2012. Code Name Translation: OP: open pollinated. K206: seed parent. 2: seedling two of the batch. Correspondance from Jim Sproul regarding the pedigree: "K206 gets Hulthemia blood from both Persian Sunset and Chewtiggle."Tough little seedling so far. I had the fungicides ready to use but I haven't needed to. Powdery mildew, downy mildew, and black spot have been very bad this year. So far the seedling remains mostly clean and unsprayed. Edit: 13th Feb. 2013: Susceptible to rust. Edit: 9th April 2013: Decimated by downy mildew in Autumn. Blooms tend to ball in cool weather. Makes no pollen but will set small hips.
