What’s Your Favourite Spoon?

Kalanchoes are one of the most versatile and diverse species of plants in the world. Two of the most popular Kalanchoe are Silver Spoons and Copper Spoons. It’s not often that a plant’s common name can be so accurate!

We use both varieties in our landscape designs due to their drought tolerance, hardy nature, and beautiful appearance.

Kalanchoe Copper Spoons

Featuring a larger leaf than Kalanchoe Silver Spoons, this upright succulent grows to about 400mm and looks great in pots and garden beds. Copper Spoons grow from a leading stem with offshoots creating a more upright and tight form than Kalanchoe Silver Spoons. The stunning copper toned foliage has a velvety feel and a soft green tone on the underside. Like all Kalanchoes, Copper Spoons like full sun and require very little watering.
