Fertility of 'Morden Pink' Lythrum virgatum L. transplanted into wild stands of L. salicaria L. in Manitoba
1993
Lindgren, C.J. | Clay, R.T.
Forty 'Morden Pink' Lythrum virgatum plants were transplanted into three wild stands of L. salicaria in June 1992. In Sept. 1992, seeds were collected and tested for viability and germination rates. Seed testing indicated that 83% of the collected seeds was viable (tetrazolium test) with a mean germination rate of 76%. We conclude that 'Morden Pink' will cross-pollinate and produce viable seeds when exposed to wild L. salicaria stands.
