Kalanchoe Pumila

The Quicksilver is a bushy, evergreen and perennial succulent plant which grows to about 30-40cm tall. They produce maximum contrast colours in full sun, but will do well in partial shade also, with grey-green foliage and purple margins, and chalky texture. They have striking pink flowers, and flower mainly in the winter months giving gardens a beautiful splash of colour when other plants are dormant. They are hardy, and have beautiful and unusual foilage, making them a fantastic addition to gardens, rockeries and collections.
