Hi and Welcome to the Forum 🙂  
You can add SUSE Package Hub repository and install the KDE pattern from there via zypper or YaST;

As Malcolm has already indicated, KDE is available via the SUSE Package Hub though you will need to be running SLED12 SP1 or later. Please see [https://www.suse.com/c/plasma-desktop-kde-frameworks-5-kde-applications-available-sle12/](https://www.suse.com/c/plasma-desktop-kde-frameworks-5-kde-applications-available-sle12/) .

Which release of SLED12 are you using? Please post the output from “cat /etc/\*release”.

HTH.
