Adromischus maculatus, the calico hearts, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, which is endemic to the Eastern Cape and Western Cape of South Africa. Growing to 34 cm, it is a mat-forming succulent perennial with thick spade-shaped leaves growing from a short, prostrate, woody stem. Plants are variable in coloring. Some are plain green, while others have leaves which are covered in maroon or brown blotches - hence the specific epithet maculatus, meaning 'spotted'. In summer (December-January), tubular green inflorescences are borne on 25 to 30 cm long branches, with pink or white lobes. Adromischus maculatus grows on the sunny, sandstone slopes of South Africa's Langeberg Mountains. It is widely cultivated but does not tolerate prolonged frost, so in temperate regions, it is usually grown indoors as a houseplant. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
