Pretty, shiny, cylindrical light green leaves get their sparkle from a layer of fuzzy silver hairs. Growing only 6” tall & 1’ wide, this demure succulent would make an excellent candidate for a mixed-succulent container planting. Given enough sun, the tips of each leaf will turn red. Pretty 1” yellow flowers with reflexed petals dangle from chartreuse stems. Blooms in late Spring through early Summer. I’m thinking several of these Cotyledon will look great punctuating a sea of Sedum ‘Voodoo’.
