Plant Description

Kalanchoe rotundifolia is a sparely and slenderly branched, erect succulent with blue-ish green leaves that can reach a height of 1m. The leaves are generally egg shaped but the plant varies quite a lot in leaf colour, shape and margins which may be rounded, toothed or lobed.

Between Autumn and Mid-summer Kalanchoe rotundifolia bears orange to scarlet four lobed flowers in clusters on stalks high above the foliage. It can tolerate full sun but often does better in semi-shaded positions in a rockery or succulent garden.
