About Kalanchoe thyrsiflora Harv.

Kalanchoe thyrsiflora Harv. is a succulent plant that grows a flowering stalk roughly 1 meter tall; this stalk dies back after the plant finishes flowering. The species forms a basal rosette of large, rounded, fleshy, stalkless leaves. These leaves are grayish-green with red margins, and are covered in a white powdery bloom. Its terminal, erect inflorescence holds densely clustered thyrse-like panicles of flowers. The flowers are greenish and waxy, with yellow recurved lobes, and have a narrow urn shape. This plant flowers from autumn to spring, and is commonly found growing in grassveld among rocks.
