<How quickly do the seedlings show variegation?> Quite quickly on some, say 1/4" showing on the first leaf, and others about 3/4". I do not see being able to judge any of this by the color of the leaf casing though? I watched mine like a hawk as I had purchased a wide range of variegates this year, it almost seemed that one day they were not and then the next day they were. Amazing how quickly some of them grow. It's fascinating to actually see some of the color variations in the leaf so far. I can't wait for them to get bigger. Linda Foulis Okotoks, AB
