| Hemizygia 'Candy Kisses' at the Philadelphia Flower Show 2013 |
Story # 92.
Find this plant!
One of our declared missions each year at the Philadelphia Flower show is to find a new plant ------ At least, a new plant in my area of interest.
This year I came upon a striking variegated specimen with somewhat shiny leaves that could have been a Plectranthus but was shown as Hemizygia ‘Candy Kisses’. It was exhibited by Mrs. Samuel Hamilton who shows many exceptional specimen plants.
I’ve never seen the Genus name, Hemizygia. So is this a name change for one of the many varieties of Plectranthus that I know or a new exciting plant worth growing.
It is described as a tender perennial that can be used in summer planters. And it must be a short day flowering plant that could be a pot plant in the Fall and Winter
This is worth finding and growing to see its potential for tip cuttings in small pots for Miniature Gardens.
