Kalanchoe tomentosa ‘Chocolate Soldier’

Description

Chocolate Soldier’ (Kalanchoe tomentosa) is a beautiful slow growing perennial succulent plant with dense white felt-like hairs covering the entire leaf eventually forming an upright small shrub that will reach about 35-45 cm (In nature, it grows to 1 m in height). It is an incredibly attractive but polymorphic species and there are many cultivars with color variants. Leaves are stalkless, fleshy, narrowly oval, pointed, 5-7 cm long, thickly covered with spreading whitish to blue-green hairs (trichomes) in the center except at the tips which have several shallow notches with rich chocolate-colored hairs giving it a rather attractive look. Flowers are small, but are quite uniquely attractive furry, bell-shapes that are golden ginger in color.
