Cotyledon orbiculata, commonly known as Pig’s Ear Succulent, is a distinctive evergreen succulent valued for its thick, rounded leaves often edged with a subtle red margin. Its silvery-green foliage and upright, branching habit create a bold architectural look, making it a standout in containers, rock gardens, and succulent arrangements. In the right conditions, it may produce tall stems of bell-shaped orange or coral flowers that add seasonal interest. Drought-tolerant and easy to grow, this plant is well suited for both indoor and outdoor displays.
