I think it is fun to have some of the new hybrid plants, but I hope people remember the negatives of plants like this too. All the beautiful creatures of our world are running out of habitat due to us people bulldozing their natural areas and putting in cookie cutter complexes with large expanses of lawns and usually sterile trees and plants to keep maintenance low. I personally love watching the gold finches fluttering about my yard eating the seeds off my many native plants. I also love seeing numerous butterflies and bees working all the flowers. If we want to keep these beauties around we all have to pitch in and make parts of our yards for them because sadly some day that will probably be the only areas left for them. I personally am going to stick with my seed grown plants for the sake of wildlife. If I want those colors I could always add in some Gaillardia.
