Do a search over in the rose propagation forum. There was a thread on using surflan as a mutagen a while back.

Just today I was at the Land Institute and talked to someone who has used sodium azide. I didn't know you were interested, so I didn't tell him to rush the info. Sorry. But it is on its way to me, then to you.

I'm interested as well.

I've used colchicine on a few things. It really does mess over the plants and drops your viability to about 1%. It produced much more compact plants when I tried it on assorted matthiola & Consolida species. I tried it as a paint on somatic treatment on Salvia splendens ( with DMSO added ) and got a bit of variation in leaf shape and flower shape but nothing hugely dramatic.

Absent,

I've heard about the use of colchicine, but haven't used any myself. Where did you purchase it? It can also be used as a bud mutagen too I believe (can be applied directly to inmature buds of a plant).
