Talking about `Prickle´. Of course I do understand that this form has appeared many times and in many different places, but when talking about this specific name; I believe you are talking about `Prickel´. It is the name of a plant that was found in the west coast of Sweden a little less than 20 years ago. I do not remember the name of the man who found it, but he once called me up after I had written a piece about it. He was very nice. `Prickel´comes quite true from seeds, most of them has the same pattern, but some- a few- come pure white. It is not a virus involved, just a natural mutation. In my garden, it is always the latest to flower, even after the white forms that tend to be a little late. I have got one seedling that differs a little in the pattern, it looks like a heavy rain shower, but as I just wrote, most of them look exactly the same as the parent plant. The leaves are quite light green and has a very nice shape. They stay wavy for a long time. The plant is not very strong growing, but not a very slow grower either. (Attachment Link)
