Tom will have seed from it this year, but potato seed rarely comes true. It is actually a stentomum phureja cross.

Even if they don't come true, some plants may be close to the parent.

Under what name? I'm thinking about those flowers...

This variety...MURU...is one of my favorites for large sized flowers. I have quite a bit of TPS on it too! Both of my store fronts have the seed. The flowers you see standing above the others are five feet off the ground.

One of my dahlia friends is going to grow them as cut flowers for the markets.

Thank you Tom

Muru.. is Muruta a sibling of Muru? Does it have big flowers too?

**Tom Wagner** · February 13, 2013

No Muru and Muruta are not closely related.
and Muruta has white flowers not near as large as Muru.
