Amenity and agricultural cultivars
Amenity and agricultural cultivars may sometimes be similar to the wild form of the same species, for example, Crested Dog’s-tail and Small-leaved White-clover. However, the majority of cultivars have been bred for genetic uniformity and robustness, and are usually larger and more vigorous, when compared to the wild type, and often show poor long-term persistence. Because they are genetically uniform they do not possess the genetic diversity needed to respond to different and changing wild environments.
