In plant classification, the words "cultivar" and "variety" are often used. As soon as the name and species of a plant are known, it can be called a cultivar or variety.
1
Both terms mean that the plant or bloom is different from the norm for that species. This can happen with size, color, smell, leaf type, or any other trait that is typical for that species.
2
Plant cultivars are named differently than plant varieties, and growers and home gardeners need to know about the law when it comes to spreading plants. What you need to know about
3
Humans cross-pollinate two self-pollinating parent plants to create a cultivar with desirable traits. Hybridizing requires years of experimentation and money.
4
A hybrid with the desired traits is called a cultivar. To preserve its new characteristic, the cultivar can only be cloned by cuttings, grafting, or tissue culture. Growing identical plants from cultivar seeds frequently results in a plant that reverts to one of the parents or something else.
5
In plant nomenclature, mutations are called "sports." These are accidents of nature and usually affect one or two plants.
6
A cultivar is a plant developed from a stem cutting, grafting, or tissue culture to retain its parent's traits. Growing a plant from one of these seeds may not generate the same plant.
7
The cultivar name follows the genus and species names with its initial letter capitalized in the entire scientific name. Cultivar names are commonly enclosed in single quotation marks. Identifying plants this method provides more plant traits than naming the genus and species.
