Unknown, Hybrid Hulthemia persica.  

HMF entry date: 13^th., Jan., 2012.

Hybrid hulthemia from OP seed supplied by Jim Sproul from Jim's seedling named K206. Seedling first flowered 5th Jan. 2012.

Code Name Translation:

OP: open pollinated.
K206: seed parent.
1: seedling one 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 clean and unsprayed.

Dieback has claimed this seedling in its second year. It was looking good and then started dying.
