Description
Kalanchoe tetraphylla (also known as paddle plant, flapjacks, desert cabbage, and white lady), is a species of Kalanchoe native to South Africa. A succulent plant producing a stalk about 1m tall, dying back after flowering. It forms a basal rosette of large, rounded, fleshy, stalkless leaves, which are grayish-green with red margins, covered with a white powdery bloom. The inflorescence is terminal and erect with densely clustered thyrse-like panicles of greenish waxy flowers with yellow recurved lobes, narrowly urn-shaped. The plant flowers from autumn to spring, and is common in grassveld amongst rocks.
Preferring dry climates in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11, these plants provide a splash of red along the edges of mostly green to pale white fleshy leaves.
