| Primulina yungfuensis - Original Frosted Jade |
There is much interest in the species Primulina yungfuensis,
first shown and distributed by Jim Roberts.
It has distinctive variegated foliage and I’ve proposed a marketing
common name of ‘Frosted Jade’.
Once I got stock established, I have
propagated hundreds. Its only weakness
is brittleness --- its leaves want to snap off.
I think that it could be a stand-alone plant, promoted as Frosted Jade.
Awhile back, I noticed a different
leaf pattern----a mutation in the population of yungfuensis. It has much more silver and is distinctively different
from the original clone.
I’ve propagated these leaves to
prove that it is stable. Once I have a
group to test, I can decide about naming and possible release.
A new Frosted Jade…

That new clone is very attractive!
ReplyDeleteThe leaf pattern and color is very different from any other Primulina I've seen. I have leaves rooted but no plants yet. When we have plantlets grown as single crown, we will be able to see how it might look.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Wow
