Variegated Bear Paw - Cotyledon tomentosa

  • Cotyledon tomentosa subsp. ladismithiensis, native to South Africa, is also known as Cotyledon Bear Paw or Bear’s Paw. This is a very rare species.

    It is a succulent shrublet up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall. It is densely branched and covered with fine tiny white hairs, giving it a velvety look. The leaves are up to 2 inches (5 cm) long, fleshy, lime-green, with creamy yellow variegation and sometimes reddish tips. These leaves usually have from 1 to 3 apical teeth, resembling the "bear claws".

    Cotyledon Bear's Paw produces clusters of yellow to orange-red bell-shaped flowers in late spring.

    All of the plants may be shipped bare root.
  • Porous.

    Bright light and ample airflow.

    Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch then let drain completely.

    Feed with a controlled-release fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season.

     Cotyledon Bear Paw can easily be propagated by separating and replanting offsets in planting medium.
  • Zone 8a to 11b: from 10 °F (-12.2 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C).
