Kalanchoe double 'Lena'

The Kalanchoe double 'Lena' is a stunning variety of the popular Flaming Katy plant, also known as Tom Thumb. This particular cultivar is known for its double, or pleniflorous, flowers, which means they have multiple layers of petals, giving them a beautiful and full appearance.

The leaves of the 'Lena' variety have erose margins, meaning they have a jagged or toothed edge. They are generally ovate or egg-shaped and have a dark green color. The leaves are relatively large, with a width of 5-7.5 cm and a size of 7.5-10 cm. They are simple in their division, meaning they are undivided and have a smooth surface.

The flowers of the 'Lena' variety have a stunning purple-medium purple color, with an NN078C shade. Their diameter ranges from 1 to 1.5 cm, and they have a length/height of the same size. The flowers are arranged in an inflorescence called a corymb, which is a flat-topped cluster with the central flowers opening first and the outer ones opening later. This creates a beautiful display as the flowers bloom.

The 'Lena' variety has a compact growth habit, reaching a height of 10-20 cm. The plant itself has a diameter of 20-25 cm, making it a great choice for small spaces or as a decorative accent in larger gardens.

With its vibrant and pleniflorous flowers, coupled with the dark green ovate leaves, the Kalanchoe double 'Lena' is a visually striking plant. Its unicolored flower distribution adds to its attractiveness, making it a popular choice among plant enthusiasts and collectors. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, this variety will surely catch the eye and add a touch of elegance to any space.
