Native to Madagascar. It has  relatively tiny marginal teeth along the leaf edges, leaves are green, to blue-green, to pale blue green or red to maroon in stress. It flowers on narrowly branched stalks topped with dull red to pinkish red or dull red-orange flowers, often tipped in pale green.

Sowing instructions: Seeds germinate very well but may damp off if overwatered. Use a mixture of river sand, compost and soil to sow seeds in. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the surface and cover with a layer of small pebbles. The pebbles help the seedlings to stay upright and prevent damping off. Keep seed tray in a dry warm corner and do not allow to dry out. Transplant the seedlings after one year.
