Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi
Lavender Scallops
Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi, sold as Lavender Scallops, is a Madagascan succulent whose blue-grey scalloped leaves are edged in pink or purple, deepening in full sun and through cool weather. Stems sprawl and root where they touch, so a planted group knits into a low spreading mat.
It is used in rockeries, dry ground cover, green roofs and container work, and it asks for nothing but drainage.
