Perrrrr-fect container plant

Cotyledon orbiculata
Cotyledon orbiculata

There are few plants better suited for a spectacular, long lasting, ever tidy-looking container planting than Cotyledon orbiculata.  This beauty is from South Africa and as with most succulents best suited for mild climates.  C. orbiculata will form a tidy mound of fat opposing leaves.  Ultimately the plant will get about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, softly drooping over it’s container.  The long lasting summer flowers will float above it in a coral and yellow display.  So pretty!
