    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    The term for mixing flowers to create new varieties of flowers is "hybridization." By combining the genes of different parents, a gardener can improve a plant's appearance or its ability to resist disease or the elements. Hybrid plants are so common that many people don't even realize they are hybrids. For example, peppermint is a combination of spearmint and water mint.
