Silver Spoons Cotyledon is a compact, branching succulent producing distinctive paddle-shaped leaves that are covered in a thick, white powdery coating - the leaves feel smooth and appear almost painted silver. Small, tubular orange-red flowers hang on upright stems in late spring and summer and attract birds. It grows slowly to around 40-60cm, branching naturally over time into a small shrubby form. Full sun. Excellent drainage. Drought tolerant once established - the powdery coating reduces water loss effectively.
