flowering characteristic has been combined with many desirable Kalanchoe
traits including different flower colors, growth characteristics and
plant habit. Methods for the reliable breeding of the double-type
characteristic into diverse Kalanchoe genetic backgrounds, as well as
methods for increasing the number of petals per flower, are disclosed.
