Graptopetalum Claret

 

Graptopetalum 'Claret'

http://www.crassulaceae.ch/de/artikel?akID=55&aaID=3&aiID=C&aID=116 As per ICN: Claret (engl. kr) Origin unknown Parentage : possibly G. amethystinum x G. rusbyi or G. paraguayense ssp. bernalense x G. rusbyi ? Distributed as xGraptoveria 'Pik Ruz' in Korea. As the flowers show this is not an intergeneric hybrid between Graptopetalum and Echeveria but an interspecific hybrid of two Graptopetalum species. It branches from the base and when grown in a sunny place the leaves show the colour of red wine – hence the name. Graptopetalum (leatherpetal) is a perennial succulent plants and native to Mexico and Arizona. They grow grow in a rosette. They are not frost hardy but in frost free regions, make excellent rockery plants..

Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

They can be propagated easily by separating offsets, but also by leaf cuttings, and by seed if they are not hybrids. Succulents need a warm, sunny well-drained position to develop their foliage colour. Most succulents will be grown in containers and pots and they will need good drainage. Add coarse grit to soil-less compost and repot every year in late-spring. Don't worry about damaging the roots when re-potting: these plants tolerate disturbance well.

 

Flowering

From Early Spring TO Late Summer

Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves. Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes
