Overview

Slipper Flower (Pedilanthus macrocarpus) is a distinctive succulent shrub, reaching 2-4 ft in height, known for its light green, zigzagging stems and slipper-shaped yellow-green blooms that can appear year-round in warm climates. Preferring full sun, it requires minimal water upon establishment. A low-maintenance and drought-tolerant choice, it adds an exotic touch to xeriscape gardens, thriving in USDA zones 9-11. Keep away from pets, as it can be toxic if ingested.
