Kalanchoe thyrsiflora 'Desert Rose' is a striking succulent also known as the Paddle Plant. It's round growth habit and dramatic foliage appears to give the allure of an underwater coral bed with colors transitioning from blue-green at the base to red on the rounded tips. The vibrant colors intensify in full sun and once the plant has matured will bloom a spike with clusters of yellow tubular flowers in spring. What a great addition of color into a rock garden. Cold hardy in Zones 9-11, and will tolerate temperatures as low as 40 degrees. Grows best in partial to full sun and only requires occasional watering once it is established.
