Pink Mother of Thousands 'Pink Butterflies' (Kalanchoe 'Pink Butterflies'): A Variegated Hybrid with Pink Plantlets

Pink Mother of Thousands 'Pink Butterflies' (also called 'Pink Sparkler') is a stunning variegated sport of the Mother of Thousands. Its leaves are mottled with cream, pink, and green, and the plantlets that form on the leaf margins are a vivid pink—resembling tiny butterflies. It’s less vigorous than the green form but infinitely more ornamental. A hybrid involving Kalanchoe daigremontiana. Handle with care—toxic.
