Cultivars and Varieties represent two distinct classifications in the plant world, each offering unique benefits for landscapers, garden centers, and horticultural professionals. Understanding these differences allows you to make informed decisions when selecting plants for your clients' projects, ensuring consistent results and satisfied customers.

Understanding the Distinction

Cultivars and varieties differ in fundamental ways that impact your planting projects and customer satisfaction:

• Origin and Development: Varieties occur naturally in the wild, while cultivars result from deliberate human selection and breeding programs.
• Propagation Reliability: Varieties reproduce "true to type" from seed, offering predictable results in large-scale plantings.
• Consistency in Commercial Settings: Cultivars typically require vegetative propagation (cuttings, division, grafting) to maintain their distinctive characteristics.
• Scientific Naming: Varieties use "var." in their botanical names, while cultivars are distinguished by single quotation marks.
• Application Flexibility: Understanding these differences helps you select the right plant for specific landscape requirements and growing conditions.

The distinction matters particularly in commercial landscaping where consistency, performance, and client expectations must align perfectly.

Planting and Selection Considerations

When incorporating cultivars and varieties into your landscape designs, timing and selection are crucial. Spring and fall typically offer ideal planting windows for most perennial varieties, while many cultivars have specific planting requirements. Flowering periods vary significantly between natural varieties and their cultivated counterparts, with many modern cultivars bred specifically for extended bloom times or repeat flowering. Always check the specific growing requirements for each plant to ensure optimal performance in your clients' landscapes.
