Description
Add a classic, structural element to your landscape with the green form of Cotyledon orbiculata, commonly known as Green Pig’s Ears. This exceptionally hardy, indigenous succulent features thick, fleshy, paddle-shaped green leaves trimmed with a striking, vivid red margin. Its upright, multi-branched growth habit makes it fantastic for adding reliable structure to rockeries, borders, or large decorative pots. In winter, it elevates the garden with tall, sturdy stalks holding large clusters of drooping, bell-shaped orange-to-red flowers that are a favorite for local sunbirds.
