Sprouts of Bristol

This gorgeous succulent is eyecatching thanks to the bight pink plantlets running along its fronds like petals - or butterfly wings! Like others in its Genus, any part of this plant that falls to the ground can sprout roots and grow a whole new plant, from which it gets its scientific name, derived from Chinese. This variety is a hybrid that's much harder to propagate, however- which makes it useful in parts of the world where its parent plants grow as problematic invasive species. Fortunately there's not much chance of this in the UK, where it gets too cold and soggy in winter. Each frond on this plant grows from a central stem, their deep green deepening further to burgundy on the serrated leaf edges. From these grow the tiny pink plantlets which make this plant stand out so much. Choose this plant for its gorgeous colours, and keep it for its easy going succulent behaviour - safe in the knowledge the plantlets won't take over your garden! **Scientific Name** Kalanchoe delagoensis x
