I have a few Alpen Steve I keep for breeding because it has produced nice cut seedlings in just about every color. The plant habit is not great on Alpen Steve, it sends up too many stems and they get thin very early in the season. Also, both A. Steve and Lynn Slight are very prone to getting powdery mildew. They are the canaries in the mine I watch to let me know when it is time (past time) to spray fungicides.
