Abstract

A new and distinct Kalanchoe cultivar named ‘Dragonfire’ is disclosed, with plants comprised of apple green leaves with red margins. In bright light or during cooler climates, the leaves blush intensely, becoming largely red with green only near the center of the plant. The new cultivar ‘Dragonfire’ exhibits robust and rapid growth, enhancing finished pot production times. The new cultivar has proven landscape and full sun tolerant, including at elevations around 1400 feet in Southern California. 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.
