Abstract

A new and distinct Kalanchoe cultivar named ‘Bordeaux’ is disclosed, characterized by attractive dusky red-burgundy foliage with attractive variable dentate leaf margins. The new cultivar freely branches, enabling increased and faster propagation. The new cultivar ‘Bordeaux’ exhibits robust and rapid growth. The freely branching characteristic exhibited by the new cultivar, in combination with the robust, moderately rapid growth of the new cultivar ‘Bordeaux’, results in attractive clustering plants at an early age, thereby enhancing production intervals. The new cultivar has proven landscape and full sun tolerant, qualities not displayed by many other comparable Kalanchoes known to the Inventor. The new variety is an Kalanchoe , part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Sedum and others. Kalanchoe is a popular genus, typically produced for the floriculture industry, as well as for uses as container plants for the patio, or as landscape plants.
