Notes
Lavender scallops (Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi) is a succulent for containers, xeriscapes, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It is drought tolerant and reaches 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with SuperBlue lavender, Heavy Metal switchgrass, and Orange bougainvillea.
