Abstract: A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Colorshift’ is disclosed, characterized by unique “colorshifts” of the rosette, dependent upon ambient conditions caused by seasonal changes, not observed in comparable Echeverias. The new variety exhibits variability of rosette color that can include violet, silvered mauve, silvered aqua and their intermediate colors. The cultivar ‘Colorshift’ also exhibits light margin colors, strongly accenting the multi-hued violet rosette. In addition, the new cultivar ‘Colorshift’ produces a display of bright, vermillion flowers, accenting the violet rosette, a contrast not exhibited by comparable Echeveria varieties. The new variety exhibits a robust growth habit, enabling faster production, than most comparable Echeveria varieties.
Abstract: A new and distinct Crassula cultivar named ‘Candy Cane’ is disclosed, characterized by an unusual, stable, tricolor variegation, comprised of white leaves, with marbling of mint green, accented by rose magenta margins. In addition, the new cultivar ‘Candy Cane’ branches as a young plant, and continues to rapidly branch, producing many terminal vegetative cuts that greatly enhance propagation of the cultivar in the commercial nursery. Additionally, the prolific branching quickly produces an attractive, fully branched that readily fills the production container, resulting in plants ready for sale at an earlier size, thereby reducing production times in the commercial nursery. The new variety is a Crassula, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Crassula, Crassula, Pachyphytum, Graptopelalum, Sedum and others. Crassula is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants or as landscape plants.
