Hi onalee -

Depends on the variety. Here in 9b California Kalanchoe blossfeldiana blooms pretty much year round planted in the ground. Rests for a few weeks usually Dec-Jan. It can take full sun or pretty heavy shade.

If you are speaking of something like K. beharensis it blooms here from late Spring through early Winter and can also take full sun with little or no water or shade, but flowers less in the shade.
