David Fell of Hawaiian Sunshine Nursery, Inc. has been granted a patent for his Kalanchoe thyrsiflora “Fantastic”. Since introducing “Fantastic” two years ago, it has attracted considerable interest.
“Fantastic" was winner of both the 'Favorite New Foliage Plant' and 'Retailer's Choice Award' at the 2010 Tropical Plant Industry Exhibition. “Fantastic” is a succulent perennial with compact form and stunning variegation. The gold and silvery-green rounded leaves edged and flushed with a dramatic red really attract attention.
Easy to grow, robust, and drought tolerant, this plant can grow 1 to 2 ft. tall and wide and spike tiny, white tubular flowers on a 30-in. stem in late winter or early spring. Best in full sun and slightly dry conditions.
