Among them, ‘Jing Hua Xu Ri’ has single or lotus flowers with red petals inserted by yellow or purple stripes; ‘Jing Jun Mei’ has single flowers with yellow petals and attractive red flares; ‘Jing Hua Zhao Xia’ has single and small flowers with pink petals inserted by light yellow and light purple stripes; ‘Jing Gui Mei’ has lotus formed, pink flowers; and ‘Jing Rui Huang’ whose flowers are lotus and light yellow with light red flares, has generally some sterile carpels transformed from the stamens. They can all propagated by grafting or division.
