Hybrid plants
Hybrid plants are the results of crossing two different parent plants to create a new variety with desirable traits from both. For example, a hybrid may combine the hardiness of one plant with the colorful flowers of another. This breeding process can enhance characteristics like growth rate, disease resistance, and yield. Hybrid plants are commonly used in agriculture and gardening, offering improved productivity and resilience. However, they often require specific growing conditions and may not reliably produce seeds that retain the same traits as the parent plants, leading to a reliance on purchasing new seeds each season.
