    Kalanchoe tomentosa ‘Brownie’ is an unique variety in the Panda Plant family, known for its felted texture. Forms a dense, upright bush of oblong, grey-green to chocolate leaves with bright scarlet margins. Dark spots line the edges of the hairy succulent foliage. Clusters of yellow-green flowers bloom on tall stems above the foliage. Over time, this succulent will form a woody stem with clumping branches.
