A while back, I planted a large number of capensis "Mini Red" seeds (on 2/15/18). I'm kinda confused with the results. There are two pics below. All the seedlings were from the same batch. First, there's the big red one - it was that oddball seeding that outgrew everyone else and I potted separately on 6/26/19. It's certainly red, but I wouldn't call it "mini". The rest of the seedlings have been repotted over the last couple of months. The second pic is the latest batch - they're just starting the recovery process - but otherwise they're pretty representative of the rest of the seedlings. They're certainly "mini" but a certain amount of that has to be from the overcrowding in the community pot. They're also not particularly "red". However, the only pic I can find of "mini red" online, shows plants that look just like them. Does anyone have experience with this variety? I'd really like to hear from someone who knows what is going on.
BTW, I have a lot of the normal colored seedlings. If it weren't for covid, I'd been giving them away before now. As it is, I'm hoping to do giveaways as soon as I'm comfortable with the idea of leaving my lockdown and venturing to the not-so-clean Post Office.
