Lady's Slipper, Pedilanthus macrocarpus, is native to Mexico and offers an excellent way to add color to any drought-tolerant landscape. One of the Lady's Slippers' 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 makes it a favorite for use in a succulent garden, rock garden, or grown in containers! Use it as a living sculpture that will 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 rave about how easy these plants are to care for and maintain. Once established, Pedilanthus macrocarpus has low to moderate watering needs. Once established, these plants are considered extremely drought-tolerant, so use them in xeriscape landscape designs and enjoy the view!
