Kalanchoe longiflora var. coccinea Seeds

 Kalanchoe, also written Kalanchöe or Kalanchoë, is a genus of about 125 species of tropical, succulent flowering plants in the Family Crassulaceae, mainly native to the Old World but with a few species now growing wild in the New World following introduction of the species. Most are shrubs or perennial herbaceous plants, but a few are annual or biennial. The largest, Kalanchoe beharensis from Madagascar, can reach 6 m tall, but most species are less than 1 m tall.

Kalanchoe longiflora var. coccinea occurs in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa as well as Madagascar.

It is a beautiful scallop leaved succulent shrub that can reach up to 75cm high. If grown in strong sun light the leaves turn reddish orange. It can be made to branch by taking tip cuttings and the cuttings also roots easily. As the plant matures the leaves become more elongated and folded and the scalloping gets more pronounced. This succulent can withstand long periods of neglect as well as excessive water and makes a stunning rockery or landscaping plant in the garden.
