Adromischus maculatus, also known as the spotted adromischus or calico hearts, is a flowering plant that is native to the Eastern Cape and Western Cape regions of South Africa. It is a succulent perennial that grows up to 35 cm in height and has thick, spade-shaped leaves that grow from a short, woody stem. The plant's leaves can vary in color, with some being plain green and others having maroon or brown spots, which is where its specific epithet, maculatus, comes from. In the summer, the plant produces tubular green flowers on long branches with pink or white lobes. Adromischus maculatus is typically found on sunny, sandstone slopes in the Langeberg Mountains of South Africa. While it is widely cultivated, it cannot tolerate prolonged frost and is often grown indoors as a houseplant in temperate regions. It has been recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society with the Award of Garden Merit.
