| Positive | On Jul 8, 2017, feministg from Iowa City, IA wrote: "unstable" is precisely the correct word for 'Kwanso.' It is an "unstable sport"--of 'Flore pleno,' I assume–and I was surprised to read above that it had actually been hybridized. I assume that it was indeed a sport. It is true that it requires vigilance to get rid of the reversions to plain green leaves, and $25 seems a lot to pay for a plant that spreads happily in the right conditions. It is definitely the leaves and not the flowers that are the attraction. My bed of 'Kwanso' took a hit just yesterday with some construction, but I'm sure I have extras if someone wants them! |

| Positive | On Mar 17, 2008, vossner from East Texas, Mine has been extremely unstable. If I were to cut all the green revert, I wouldn't have much of a plant. I paid $25 for this, consider it a waste of money. |
