Kalanchoe Luciae

Design with this plant

Overview

The Paddle Plant (Kalanchoe luciae) is a stunning succulent with broad, oar-shaped leaves that flush red at edges. Thriving in zones 9-12, it grows up to 2ft tall and 2-3ft wide. Prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Minimal water requirements make it perfect for xeriscaping. Striking in rock gardens or as accent pieces, the winter blooms add a vivid touch with tall stems of small, tubular flowers.
