Pinella tripartita 'Free Tibet'

 Hi Paul,
If you're asking whether your garden will become infested with volunteers, I can say that this hasn't happened to me.  The real problem with volunteers in my garden is coming from a plant called 'Polly Spout', a supposedly sterile hybrid, which is perhaps self-sterile but definitely not sterile if other Pinellias are around.  The seedlings of that have infested my yard and are hard to get rid of.  I would classify it as a noxious weed at this point.
'Free Tibet' being variegated, is inherently less robust than solid green forms.  If you have a clump of it, you will occasionally see a piece that sports back to all green, and if you don't remove it, it can out-compete the variegated part.
Hope that answers your question!
Bob

 Greetings Robert Lauf. I am trying to find out if ‘Free Tibet’ is as promiscuous as Pinellia tripartita straight species? A fellow NARGS member said that you  were the “father “ of Free Tibet & may be able to answer my question. Any help would be appreciated… Many thanks, Paul Schneider , Schuylerville NY
