Phal. Purple Gem 'FANGtastic' (' Ontario Floribunda' HCC/AOS x ' Ching Hua' AM/AOS) , MC2435
Phal. Purple Gem is a primary hybrid with Phal. pulcherrima and Phal. equestris. Here, we crossed two outstanding awarded clones of Phal. Purple Gem, improving upon either parent. The pollen parent, our awarded clone ‘Ontario Floribunda’ HCC/AOS, is floriferous and has excellent branching habit with sequential blooming that continues flowering for 6 months or more. It is very weather tolerant and loves the heat! The pollen parent, the clone ‘Ching Hua’ AM/AOS, has one of the darkest color, good form, velvety substance, and best arrangement of all awarded Phal Purple Gem.
Only the best cultivar from our breeding program will carry the clonal name ‘FANGtastic’. From a population of over 500 seedlings, we selected the clone ‘FANGtastic’ for its vibrant purple/red color, heavy substance, robust growth habit, weather tolerance, and pest/disease resistance. This clone is also more compact in flowering habit and excellent for growing under lights or on a windowsill. Highly recommended for its long blooming season from late spring to early winter. Award quality.
