Spotted Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe marmorata): The Penwiper Plant

Kalanchoe marmorata, known as Spotted Kalanchoe or Penwiper Plant, is a robust, shrubby succulent with large, paddle-shaped, gray-green leaves that are heavily blotched and streaked with purple-brown, resembling a penwiper. The leaf margins are often entire or slightly wavy. It produces tall spikes of white, star-shaped flowers. This East African native is drought-tolerant and adds bold foliage texture to gardens.
