Hybrids are common in the genus, including many between the subgenera; very often these hybrids are apomictic (self-fertile without pollination), so able to reproduce clonally from seed without any variation.
Hybridizers outside Japan also produce excellent new varieties which are satsuki by the definition above, vegetative growth before flowering, but which neither have Japanese names nor registry, such as "Nuccio's Lucky Charm" and "May Showers".
Hybrid - A hybrid is a blending of two different species, usually breeding desirable traits into the new plant. When different species within a family or different families produce offspring, the new plants are called hybrids.
