The Kalanchoe Tomentosa is a very beautiful evergreen perennial succulent shrub.

Each leaf is covered with tiny silvery-white hairs giving the plant a furry, velvety texture which also allows it to conserve water in high heat in it's native Madagascar. From early Spring panicles of tubular yellow-green flowers can appear but it is usually only in the their wild habitat. Easy to grow it makes a very unique and pretty houseplant in the UK given plenty of light. They can stand outside through summer but best kept frost free.
