Haworthia retusa is a favorite for its broadly retuse, windowed leaves, and vigorous, clean growth. This variegated selection is consistent with that characterization despite its pallor that makes one wonder how it has enough chlorophyll to perform as well as it does. We received the plant in 2010 from nurseryman Bill Baker who acquired it from Hawaiian nurseryman Stefan Uyehara. Stefan named the plant in honor of his brother, who first spotted this sport in Stefan’s nursery about 40 years ago, but it was never introduced. We are pleased to offer another of Stefan’s excellent selections. See Crassula capitella subsp. thyrsiflora ‘Tsurue Scarlet Coral’, ISI 2015-21. We offer divisions of HBG 134398, $17.
