Narrative

A white seeded accession that grew to 185 cm, had red striped unbranched stems, red petioles, leaves that were speckled early then became green, and pink infloresences. Most plants did not lodge, and the seeds were mature by August 28. The white seed trait is very unusual for an accession collected as "wild". These observations are from a field planting in 1999, Ames, Iowa, by David Brenner.
