The listing, Lavender Scallops - Kalalanchoe fedtschenkoi Succulent - cuttings has ended.

Fondly known as lavender scallops, Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi is a low, shrubby, spreading succulent from Madagascar. In full sun the leaves tend to have creamy pinkish purple markings to the small, oval, blue-gray, white-dusted leaves. In partial shade the leaves turn a light aqua color and may not bloom. The leaves may occasionally produce plantlets, which can drop to the ground and root. Spectacular clusters of dangling urn-shaped salmon colored flowers appear on erect stalks in winter and early spring. The blossoms attract hummingbirds. Like most succulents, this one requires porous well-drained soil and ample light. It tolerates a couple degrees of frost. Water only when soil is dry. This plant thrives in full sun in moderate climates but needs midday shade in hot areas. Rejuvenate leggy old plants by pruning heavily, or grow new plants from cuttings stuck in sand. This succulent makes an exceptional subject for arid gardens and sunny greenhouses or windowsills. Kalanchoe fetschenkoi has escaped gardens in areas such as Maui and Kauai, where it is considered invasive.
