Flapjack Paddle Plant is a fleshy white-frosted succulent that grows in rosettes with large paddle-shaped gray-green leaves which are stacked like pancakes. With sufficient sun exposure, the margins of the leaves will turn red. Stiff flowers bloom in dense spike-like clusters on tall stalks in spring. Prefers full sun and dry, well-drained soil. Very drought tolerant once established, but intolerant of frost.
