Cotyledon tomentosa 'Bear's Paw'

Embodying the whimsy of nature's design, Cotyledon tomentosa 'Bear's Paw' is a charming succulent hailing from the rugged landscapes of South Africa. Its name is derived from the distinctive appearance of its leaves, which resemble the soft, plush paws of a bear. Each leaf is a deep green, generously tipped with reddish-brown at the edges, as if each paw has been dipped in autumn. The leaves are covered in a fine, velvety fuzz, adding to the tactile allure of this delightful plant. Cotyledon tomentosa 'Bear's Paw' will grow to a modest size, typically reaching up to 12 inches in height and width, making it a perfect candidate for container gardening or as a standout addition to a succulent collection.

Though it thrives with minimal care, its visual appeal is anything but minimal. In the spring, 'Bear's Paw' rewards its caretaker with an enchanting display of bell-shaped, orange flowers, which dangle elegantly from stalks that emerge from the center of the plant. This contrast of vibrant blooms against the soft, cuddly leaves creates a spectacle that is sure to capture the heart of any plant enthusiast. Ideal for a sunny windowsill, a shaded patio, or even as a quirky desk plant, Cotyledon tomentosa 'Bear's Paw' brings a touch of the wild indoors, inviting smiles and sparking conversations. Its easy-going nature makes it suitable for beginners, yet its unique appearance ensures it remains a cherished piece in any collection.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
