History | An Altman Plants original hybrid created by Renee O' Connell, Echeveria 'Neon Breakers' is an E. shaviana hybrid found to be far superior to others in this species. The product of a planned breeding program, this new variety originated in 2004, from a cross pollination of Echeveria shaviana with the pollen parent an unpatented, proprietary variety of Echeveria cante.times.shaviana. The crossing was made at a commercial greenhouse in Vista, California. 'Neon Breakers' was discovered and selected by Renee O'Connell, in February 2005 at the same location. This variety exhibited brighter coloration and far more disease and pest resistance, with vigorous and unique continuous growth; not shutting down seasonally as typical of Echeveria. Asexual reproduction was first performed in 2005, at a commercial greenhouse in Vista, California, by vegetative leaf cuttings. 'Neon Breakers' has since produced several generations, demonstrating that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type. |
