  • Publication number: 20170099761
    Abstract: A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Galaxy Blue’ is disclosed, characterized by concentric rosettes comprised of an abundance of undulate, icy blue leaves tipped with crimson. Further, the new cultivar ‘Galaxy Blue’ freely offsets, enabling increased and faster propagation in the commercial nursery. The new cultivar ‘Galaxy Blue’ exhibits moderately fast, robust growth, which, in combination with freely offsetting results in attractive clusters at an early age, thereby enhancing production intervals. The new variety is an Echeveria, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Crassula, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, Sedum and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio or as landscape plants, as a variety of ornamental purposes.

  • Publication number: 20160270284
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160270283
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160270280
    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 therefore 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.

  • Publication number: 20160270277
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160270278
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160270279
    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. 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, with some suitable for the landscape.
