  • Publication number: 20170099764
    Abstract: A new and distinct Cotyledon cultivar named ‘Mint Truffles’ is disclosed, characterized by a compact morphology, contrasting silvery mint-green leaves margined in crimson. Plants freely offset at an early age, allowing plant to be produced commercially as a clustering 9cm. Plants, can also be produced in a larger pot size for the landscape. Free offset production at an early age enables faster propagation of the cultivar in the commercial nursery. Plants root quickly and grow vigorously; these characteristics, in combination with the tendency to freely offset at an early age, result in attractive clusters quickly, enhancing production intervals in the commercial environment. The new variety is a Cotyledon, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, Sedum and others. Cotyledon is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio, or as landscape plants.

    Abstract: A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Galaxia’ is disclosed, characterized by compact, concentric rosettes comprised of blue-violet leaves with rose margins. Plants freely offset, enabling increased and faster propagation of the cultivar. Robust growth, in combination with the freely offsetting, results in clusters at an early age, enhancing production intervals, as well as creating an aesthetically superior product for the consumer. The new variety is an Echeveria, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, Sedum and others.

  • Patent number: PP28004
    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.

  • Patent number: PP28111
    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.
