Seed Source, Viability & Genetics Explained

Sourced from open-pollinated seeds of curated ex-situ mother plants replicating the Viesca locality near the lagoon in Coahuila, Mexico—sustainably grown to spare wild populations. “Fresh harvest” means seeds collected within the last 3 months for 80%+ viability under ideal conditions. This strain preserves genetic diversity with mutable forms, pale pink to white flowers, and irregular podaria; germination 70-90% influenced by sterility, temperature, and moisture—batch-tested for authenticity.

Botanical & Seed Characteristics

• Species & Origin: Lophophora fricii Viesca (classic locality), near Viesca lagoon, Coahuila, Mexico, on limestone plains and xerophyllous scrub.

• Seed Appearance: Tiny (1-1.5mm), black, papillate with V-shaped hilum, finely tuberculate testa.

• Dormancy: Moderate; cold stratification (4 weeks at 4°C) or GA3 soak recommended for optimal rates.
