Lady's Slipper

Lady's Slipper, Pedilanthus macrocarpus, is native to Mexico and offers an excellent way to add color to any drought-tolerant landscape. In fact, one of their most attractive features is its colorful flowers. The flowers are orange-red colored and shaped like tiny little slippers, hence the common name of Lady's Slipper. Another feature we like is its vertical, pale lime green stems, and the combination of flowers and stems make it a favorite for use in a succulent garden, rock garden or growing in containers! Use it as a living sculpture that is sure to get your yard noticed for all the right reasons!

Lady Slipper plants can tolerate light shade but will have the best form when allowed to grow with full sun exposure. Homeowners and landscapers alike rave about how easy these plants are to grow. Once established, Pedilanthus macrocarpus have low to moderate watering needs. These plants are also considered very drought tolerant once established, so use them in xeriscape landscape designs and enjoy the view!
