Seed Source, Viability & Genetics Explained

Sourced from open-pollinated seeds of curated ex-situ mother plants replicating the San Francisco region near Rio Verde lagoon in San Luis Potosí—sustainably grown to protect wild populations. “Fresh harvest” means seeds collected within the last 3 months for 80%+ viability under ideal conditions. This variety yields the smallest Lophophora genetics with dark green epidermis, prominent wavy ribs, and self-sterile thin-petaled flowers; germination 70-90% influenced by sterility, temperature, and moisture—batch-tested for dwarf authenticity.

Botanical & Seed Characteristics

• Species & Origin: Lophophora diffusa var. koehresii San Francisco locality, alluvial soils near Rio Verde lagoon, San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
