Flaming Katy, Christmas Kalanchoe, Florist Kalanchoe
Beloved for its bright, colorful flowers, award-winning Kalanchoe blossfeldiana (Flaming Kathy) is a bushy evergreen succulent with thick, shiny, dark green leaves with scalloped edges. It is mostly grown for its large umbels of flower clusters held above the foliage. The dainty blooms come in soft pastel colors and in brilliant shades of red, orange, pink or yellow. This Kalanchoe flowers every 6 months or so and keeps its blooms 6 weeks or more. Although Flaming Kathy is typically used as a houseplant, it can be grown outdoors if protected from the frost.
