    As in Lavatera maritima AGM.

    allacronyms.com lists 46 possibilities for meaning, including 'additional genetic material. '

            too much information "M".

                IMHO, seeds and plants with an AGM, meet my expectations and even surpass them, good plants to grow.

                  Same here , if a plant has the RHS AGM it means you have a good reliable plant for the UK :blue thumb: If I am buying a plant and see this logo on the label , it usually means you are onto a winner .

                  Criteria
                  The AGM is intended to be of practical value to the home gardener. It is awarded therefore only to a plant that meets the following criteria:

                  • It must be of outstanding excellence for ordinary garden decoration or use
                  • It must be available
                  • It must be of good constitution
                  • It must not require highly specialist growing conditions or care
                  • It must not be particularly susceptible to any pest or disease
                  • It must not be subject to an unreasonable degree of reversion in its vegetative or floral characteristics
                  To sum up it means even I would have difficulty killing it .

                    Well, no good to @"M" then. Her constitution must be terrible if she's always stuck on the lavatera.
