  • Patent number: PP27488
    Abstract: A new and distinct Aeonium cultivar named ‘Fiesta’ is disclosed, characterized by a unique, stable, quadricolor variegation, displaying leaves of muted forest green, splashed with lime green, with rose red & burgundy blushing of the outer leaves of the rosette in high light environments, as well as during cooler winter temperatures. Additionally, the new cultivar ‘Fiesta’ is more easily and more rapidly propagated due to moderately fast, robust growth, enhancing production times. The new cultivar ‘Fiesta’ offsets freely at an early age, quickly forming attractive clumps, enhancing propagation intervals. The new variety is an Aeonium, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Echeveria, Pachyphytum, Graptopetalum, Sedum and others. Aeonium is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio or for use as landscape plants.

  • Patent number: PP27514
    Abstract: A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Sahara’ is disclosed, characterized by excellent resistance to stressors, including excellent resistance to both heat and cold and constant exposure to the sun, making it an excellent landscape plant. The new cultivar displays enhanced disease resistance as compared to other Echeverias, in particular to the pathogens Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, and Powdery Mildew. Echeveria ‘Sahara’ is more easily and rapidly propagated due to robust growth and enhanced resistance to stressors. In addition, the new cultivar ‘Sahara’ offsets profusely, quickly forming clumps, enabling increased and faster propagation. The new cultivar produces larger flowers, compared to many other Echeveria cultivars. The new variety is an Echeveria, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Pachyphytum, Graptopetalum, Sedum and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants or landscape plants.

  • Patent number: PP27527
    Abstract: A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Cubic Frost’ is disclosed, characterized by concentric, geometric rosettes, comprised of many uplifted, slightly undulate, slightly tubular, lilac to lilac pink leaves. The new cultivar Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ exhibits robust growth, enabling shorter production intervals. Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ is freely offsetting, enhancing propagation intervals, as well as creating attractive clusters. Echeveria ‘Cubic Frost’ prolifically produces plantlets from leaf cuttings, further enhancing propagation in the commercial nursery. The new culitvar ‘Cubic Frost’ is freely flowering, producing a larger flower with an unusual shape. The new variety is an Echeveria, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Pachyphytum, Graptopetalum, Sedum, Crassula and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants or landscape plants.

  • Patent number: PP27613
    Abstract: A new and distinct Aeonium cultivar named ‘Emerald Ice’ is disclosed, characterized by very even, concentric rosettes, comprised of an abundance of green leaves, colored marginally with creamy white, and arranged in an attractive, variegated geometric pattern. Further, the new cultivar ‘Emerald Ice’ freely offsets, enabling increased and faster propagation of the cultivar. In addition, the robust growth, in combination with the freely offsetting characteristic of the new cultivar ‘Emerald Ice’, results in the clusters at an early age, and enhances production intervals. The new variety is an Aeonium, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Sedum and others. Aeonium is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio or as landscape plants.

  • Patent number: PP27760
    Abstract: A new and distinct Kalanchoe cultivar named ‘Bordeaux’ is disclosed, characterized by attractive dusky red-burgundy foliage with attractive variable dentate leaf margins. The new cultivar freely branches, enabling increased and faster propagation. The new cultivar ‘Bordeaux’ exhibits robust and rapid growth. The freely branching characteristic exhibited by the new cultivar, in combination with the robust, moderately rapid growth of the new cultivar ‘Bordeaux’, results in attractive clustering plants at an early age, thereby enhancing production intervals. The new cultivar has proven landscape and full sun tolerant, qualities not displayed by many other comparable Kalanchoes known to the Inventor. The new variety is an Kalanchoe, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Sedum and others. Kalanchoe is a popular genus, typically produced for the floriculture industry, as well as for uses as container plants for the patio, or as landscape plants.
