Flaming Katy (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Calandiva') Succulent Plant - Succulents. Flaming Katy succulents belong botanically to the Crassulaceae family. They are highly ornamental, evergreen perennial flowering plants that can be used both indoors and outdoors, planted in pots or directly in the garden soil - conditions permitting. They have oval large fleshy leaves with crenated margins, bright green in colour. The double flowers appear in winter or spring (depending on the plant's treatments) in various colours (red, pink, orange, fuchsia, yellow or white). Flaming Katy is a fairly hardy and easy-to-grow plant, which thrives in light to medium soils with an acidic to neutral soil reaction, which drain very well. It is highly resistant to drought and high temperatures and is not affected by salt spray, making it suitable for planting in coastal areas.
► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the succulent, such as the size of the pot, its height, and age. Large succulents are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
