Cotyledon Orbiculata 'Undulata' - Silver Ruffles

Cotyledon Orbiculata 'Undulata' – Silver Ruffles is a striking succulent prized for its sculptural, oyster shell-like leaves with elegantly undulating margins . Each leaf is coated in a powdery silver-white farina that reflects sunlight and gives the plant its distinctive soft, frosted appearance . Also known as Silver Crown or Clam Shell, this South African native grows into an upright, branching subshrub over time, developing a woody trunk that adds character with age .

In late summer to winter, mature plants send up tall bloom stalks bearing pendulous, bell-shaped flowers in shades of coral, orange, or salmon-red . The contrast between the silvery foliage and warm-toned blooms makes this a standout specimen for succulent collections and architectural plantings.
