Fast grower and while I have yet to have to divide mine after 5-6 years, I wouldn't call it stable. Some parts of my plant are definitely more streaked than others.

As far as seeds go, it is one of the fragrant varieties and as a whole they are difficult to hybridize with. I do usually get a few pods, but I don't think they have quite enough time to ripen in my climate. If you could get mature seed, I would expect some streaked seedlings, though.

If you are looking for a streaker to use for hybridizing, I would choose something different.

I've owned one in the past. Seed pods are very, very few and far between. I've have 4 successful seedlings in nearly 7 years. Quite a looker, and fast grower though.
