Info='Aminatachi'
=rectifolia 'Amime'.
='Amime Tachi Giboshi'.
Emerges with white veins. Later leafs are green. Probably caused by harmless virus.
'Amime Tachi' is a plant that caused a lot of excitement a few years ago. It is remarkable for its white veins and similar to 'Mito-no-Hana' in that regard, although from a different species background. It is a medium-sized plant probably from rectifolia that is really a pretty good grower. Some have said that it gives streaked seedlings (as does 'Mito-no-Hana'), but we aren't sure ourselves as we haven't raised any seed from it. It does set seed well and can produce a heavy crop.
