Lady Slipper Plant 🌿
(Pedilanthus macrocarpus)
A Hummingbird Magnet with Bold, Sculptural Style
Add exotic character and vibrant color to your garden or home with the Lady Slipper Plant, a unique succulent native to the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. Known for its upright, pencil-like stems and bright red, slipper-shaped flowers, this plant delivers architectural form with a playful twist.
A reliable summer bloomer and a favorite of hummingbirds, the Lady Slipper Plant is as lively as it is low maintenance.
🌟 Available Varieties
Green Lady Slipper
The classic form of Pedilanthus macrocarpus, featuring bright green upright stems and abundant red slipper-shaped flowers. Fast-growing and highly adaptable, it's an excellent choice for landscapes, containers, and succulent collections.
Azul Lady Slipper
A distinctive selection with blue-gray to dark green stems and a thicker, more sculptural appearance.

Its unique coloration makes it a standout specimen for collectors and modern landscape designs.
