Aunt Ginny's Purple RL?

RDUN · February 23, 2007

I know Aunt Ginny's Purple is supposed to be Potato-Leafed (PL). I started 6 from seed purchased from a popular commercial source. Four of them are definitely PL but 2 are more RL. Here's 1 of each side by side:

So, what do I have with the 2 oddballs? I can only grow one plant of this variety, so I'll be planting one of the definite PL plants. I wish I could grow at least one of the RL plants to see what it turns into, but I don't have any space for experiments. (Actually, the whole tomato growing thing is still an experiment for me)

I've got several people that have never heard of heirlooms that I'm planning on giving my extra plants to, but I'm hesitant to give these to anyone.

Is this significant for this to occur or is it just likely to be from mixed seed?
