Kalanchoe plants are thick leaved succulents that are often seen in florist shops or garden centres. Most end up as potted plants but areas that can mimic their native land of Madagascar can grow them outdoors.
About Kalanchoe
While usually grown as a house plant, the succulent perennials of the Kalanchoe family can grow outside in regions with warm or mild winters. Some kalanchoe varieties are sold as annuals and discarded after the flowers fade.
Dense clusters of tiny fragrant yellow flowers appear in spring on this vigorous, easy to grow ground cover. After blooming is finished enjoy the silvery coloured, evergreen leaves.

Plants came in beautiful and perfect. Would have given more stars for packaging if possible. All the plates were seperately packed. Plants were fresh, nice and lively. They were in small white mug size pot.
Delivery was prompt and on time which was very important factor for me as it was a birthday gift for my mom. I am happy and so is the birthday girl.
