Wikipedia Abstract

Kalanchoe pumila is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to Madagascar. It is a spreading, dwarf succulent subshrub growing to 20 cm (8 in) tall and 45 cm (18 in) wide, with arching stems of frosted leaves, and clusters of purple-veined pink flowers in spring. As the minimum temperature for cultivation is 12 °C (54 °F), in temperate regions it is grown under glass as a houseplant. The Latin specific epithet pumila means dwarf or low-growing. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
