KALANCHOE

Kalanchoe uniflora is a very versatile, easy to care for succulent with small oval-shaped, flat green leaves on burgundy stems that burst out with vivid red, bell shaped flowers in spring. It's a gorgeous trailing plant perfect for hanging baskets, grown in rockeries or hot spots in your garden.

Kalanchoe, is a genus of about 125 species of tropical, succulent plants in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae, mainly native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. A Kalanchoe species was one of the first plants to be sent into space, sent on a resupply to the Soviet Salyut 1 space station in 1979.[4] The majority of kalanchoes require around 6–8 hours of sunlight a day; a few cannot tolerate this, and survive with bright, indirect sunlight to bright shade.
