Kalanchoe is a very large genus of diverse plants in the stonecrops family (Crassulaceae). Many are grown for their flowers, but “flapjacks“ (sometimes used as a common name, other times indicated as a cultivar) is prized for its foliage. With large, fleshy, paddle- shaped leaves it provides architectural interest and bold texture.

The common name ­— which refers to the leaves that stack one on top of the other like pancakes — is used for two very similar species, both native to South Africa, which are often confused in the horticultural trade. Because the plants’ appearance varies depending on the growing conditions, it can be difficult to distinguish the two until they bloom. Most plants called K. thyrsiflora — which is a rather rare species with paler, smaller leaves — are probably really the more common K. luciae. Other common names include paddle plant, desert cabbage and dog tongue.
Flapjacks is a drought tolerant succulent. The basal rosette of the plant generally grows 12-18 inches tall and 6-8 inches wide. The opposite leaves do not have petioles and are held upright like clam shells, positioning only their narrow edges to the midday sun. The smooth, grayish-green, obovate leaves are 4-6” long, with blunt rounded tips and are covered with a white to grey powdery bloom that helps protect the leaves from sunburn.

The leaves of K. thyrsiflora are smaller, slightly cupped and uniformly chalky green or white, covered with a thick flour-like coating of wax and rarely showing any red or pink coloration. The leaves of K. luciae have less bloom and develop blushing pink to deep red margins, with more pronounced color in more sunlight. ‘Tricolor’ is a variegated type, with pink, green and white markings. ‘Fantastic’ is a variegated selection, but this color fades when grown in full sun.
