Den Roy Tokunaga
This hybrid is a cross between 2 New Guinea latouria dens (Den johnsoniae x Den atroviolaceum). Both species are evergreen & have very long lasting flowers: johnsoniae, 2-3 months; atroviolaeum, 3-4 months. This hybrid also has very long-lived flowers, about 3 months or more. The latouria dens have a great tolerance for different temps, lighting & moisture levels. But they prefer warm to intermediate, with medium to bright light, with good drainage but abundant watering.
In warmer climates, plants generally bloom from late November into March. In temperate & cooler climates, blooms start in February and extend through April into May. Plants bloom from about 10" tall. They will eventually grow to 18"-24" with many canes & flowers.
