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. Azul grows more slowly than the standard green variety while producing the same vibrant red flowers and offering the same cold hardiness. Its unique coloration makes it a standout specimen for collectors and modern landscape designs.
