Kalanchoe

WHOLESALE KALANCHOE NURSERIES

20 years ago it would have been difficult to believe that Kalanchoe would be a sought after landscaping plant. Today wholeslae growers offer a wide range of plants that are used both in the garden as well in containers on balconies and in courtyards in urban areas.

The main attraction is ease of care, these are drought tolerant succulents and as such meet the demands of developers who require low maintence plants.

With hybridisation flower form and foliage colour has also be improved and today Kalanchoe are sold in just about every retail nursery and garden center in Australia.

One of the larger foliahe varieties readily available from growers is Kalanchoe thyrsifolia ‘flapjack’. However growers offer a wider range than this.
