These “pre-varietal” releases include “tested,” “selected,” and “source-identified” plant material and have distinct labeling. They help meet a strong customer demand for native plant material that is available more quickly than it takes to develop and test a cultivar for a particular conservation use. %U https://npj.uwpress.org/content/wpnpj/6/1/49.full.pdf
