The cultivar planted just to be different? (7)
I believe the answer is:
variety
'the cultivar' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for variety that I've seen before include "Diversification" , "It's said to be the spice of life" , "Diversity in old music hall?" , "class" , "Diverse collection - music hall" .)
