Kalanchoe beharensis 'nudum'

Normally this plant is covered with a very short, dense, sometimes coppery fuzz. However, this plant has smooth, rubber leaves though otherwise similar in all other respects. This is a species that has very poor cold tolerance, melting to the ground with any extended freeze, and showing pretty severe frost damage at temps as low as 26F

These are such fast growers I can't see a justification for that price...
