Description

The Flapjacks succulent is a living sculpture for your garden, offering dramatic color shifts with the seasons. Its distinctive, pancake-like leaves stack up to create a striking geometric form. For Bay Area gardeners, it’s a incredibly low-fuss star that thrives on our abundant sunshine and mild winters, transforming from cool jade to brilliant red and pink hues as the temperatures dip, providing year-round visual interest.

• Produces large, flat, paddle-shaped leaves that are coated in a soft, powdery farina (natural sunscreen), with colors ranging from pale green to vivid red edges and pink blush.

• Foliage color intensifies to bright red or deep pink with increased sun exposure and cool night temperatures – a stunning effect easily achieved in Zone 9a climates.

• Sends up a tall bloom stalk in spring or summer with clusters of small, bell-shaped, orange-red flowers that attract hummingbirds and pollinators.

• Forms a sculptural, clumping rosette that is evergreen, drought-tolerant, and perfect for containers, rock gardens, or dry borders.

• Extremely low maintenance; requires well-draining soil and minimal water, making it ideal for water-wise gardens and forgetful gardeners.
