The Flap Jack Kalanchoe has been misidentified for many years, and still often is, as Thrysiflora, but this vibrant, red edged cultivar is actually Luciae. First described in 1908 and while they both carry the signiture paddle shapped leaves, Luciae stands out from the all green Thrysiflora with its deep red edging, that in the cooler months, can take over the entire plant. The clam shapped leaves can reach 5″-6″ ovals and will show more color with higher light and cooler temperatures. It’s an easy to use succulent, coloring up gardens and gardens equally. Keep an eye out for the 2’+ bloom mature plants receive in the spring.
