Description

Kalanchoe tomentosa ‘Chocolate Soldier’ forms a shrubby plant with long oval shaped leaves densely covered in fuzzy felt. There are many cultivars with color variants, but the “true” tomentosa has dove-gray leaves with reddish-chocolate margins and tips. This cultivar, ‘Chocolate Soldier’, has chocolate-colored leaves with nearly black markings at the tips. Very attractive, rich chocolate color provides an attractive accent with other plants. Flowers are small, but are quite uniquely, attractively furry, bell-shaped and golden ginger in color. Can be planted in patio plantings or even in garden beds in areas with temperate climes.
