Blue Cadet Seedlings
I bought several what I thought were Baby Buntings about 10 years ago and when I finally was informed by someone who had the real Baby Bunting that they were too big to be BB I deduced they fit the mold of Blue Cadet. Many years ago I collected the open pollinated seeds and a large number of the seedlings that grew were chartreuse so I grew them out. Here they are lining my walk this AM. I have one plant where my husband buries a hose connection each year and when the parent is broken up the small pieces are chartreuse until they get bigger. Anyone else had this one throwing a lot of yellow seedlings?

Re: Blue Cadet Seedlings
How interesting to have so many yellow seedlings from a solid blue plant. I regularly get yellow seedlings from 'Touch of Class', but it's got the yellow in its heritage. Must be some back in the heritage of 'Blue Cadet' as well.

Nice plants, nice path, nice photo. I think I have one yellow seedling from some Blue Cadet seeds I grew several years ago.

Here is one of the Blue Cadet that gets chopped up every spring by my husband and is hose installation.

Re: Blue Cadet Seedlings
NICE! I have a blue hosta which I planted a couple of seed from. I only planted about 5. One was blue, one didn't sprout, and the other three were gold. I kept wondering how that happened, but looking at your photo can see it does. Thanks for sharing.
