Kalanchoe plant

Abstract

A new asexually reproduced kalanchoe characterized by its double crenate green oblong to elliptical foliage, branching at many of the leaf axils, peduncles of the inflorescence and individual flower pedicels being small in diameter but distinctly wiry and stiff, uniform flowering and very floriferous with orange red flowers, with both the foliage and flowers possessing outstanding keeping qualities.
