I've noticed that at least some seed series are being listed as cultivars. Is that the correct way? Confused

DB example: Angelonia 'Serena Mixed'. Wouldn't it be Angelonia angustifolia as genus/species, then Series Serena™ (by PanAmerican Seeds). There are individual colors which aren't really cultivars (are they?), as well as a mix.

If so, would all the individual colors be listed in the Series (Serena™ Purple, Serena™ White, Serena™ Mixed); or would multiple colors be selected in the Flower Color field?

If colors go in the Flower Color field, I'd propose a checkbox under flower color for "color mix" or "color mixed". I know there's an "other" checkbox but that's just more typing.

I've been struggling with this in my own database as well, so any direction by seed specialists would be welcome.
