Default M. sikki 'Darjeeling Giant'

My only one that germinated is an extremly fast grower, out pacing M. sp violet, and M.cheesmanii(fast grower) , which were all germinated within the same week of December. It is about 5 times as big as my largerst cheesmanii. Since it is a hybrid I guess that explains why some are faster growing than others. My only helens hybrid is alot slower(with light lime green leaves with red splashes), as apposed to my Dar Giant which is darker green, wider leaves, and purple only on the underneath sides of the leaves(at this stage). The top of the leaf also seems strange with two lighter strips(almost white looking) on either side of the mid rib. It makes me wonder if it is a cheesmanii/nagesium hybrid or something else.
