Kalanchoe Thyrsiflora Desert Rose "Paddle Plant"

Kalanchoe thyrsiflora: The Striking Paddle Plant!

Unfurl bold, sculptural beauty in your home or garden with Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, widely known as the Paddle Plant or Flapjack Plant! This remarkable succulent stands out with its large, thick, rounded, paddle-like leaves that stack neatly, forming an upright, dramatic presence. Each leaf is a fascinating spectacle, often boasting a powdery white coating (farina) that contrasts beautifully with the underlying green. With ample sunlight or cooler temperatures, the edges of these "paddles" blush intensely, developing stunning crimson-red margins, creating a truly dynamic display.

Perfect as a bold centerpiece in containers, a unique addition to rock gardens in frost-free climates, or a fascinating indoor specimen, the Paddle Plant offers architectural interest year-round. While often grown for its impressive foliage, mature plants may send up a towering stalk of charming yellow flowers.
