Botanical names and group identity

In Cristata forms, the inflorescence broadens into flattened comb-like structures, unlike the tapered plumes of Plumosa forms. These are horticultural distinctions within an annual species. The compact or tall mixture label adds another layer to a seed assortment’s organisation.

Crested forms and mixture stature

Nana Mixed and Tall Mixed distinguish the catalogue’s stature-labelled mixture references.
