Pig's Ear / Round-leafed Navel Wort

Botanical Name: Cotyledon orbiculata
Family: Crassulaceae
Origin: Southern Africa (South Africa & Namibia)
Plant Type: Evergreen succulent shrub

Overview

Cotyledon orbiculata (Pig’s Ear) is a water-wise, architectural succulent for South Australian gardens. It forms tidy clumps of powdery blue-green, paddle-shaped leaves with red edges in sun, and throws pendulous orange–coral bell flowers in winter that feed pollinators. Perfect for gravel gardens, coastal sites and bold containers.

Key Features

  • Mature Size: 0.6-1.0 m H x 0.6-1.2 m W
  • Growth Rate: 15-30 cm per year under good conditions
  • Foliage: Fleshy, blue-green/grey-green “paddles” with a silvery bloom; edges blush red in high light
  • Flowers: Winter stems topped with orange–coral, bell-shaped blooms; long-lasting and nectar-rich
  • Seasonal Interest: Year-round structure; best flowering in winter when gardens are quieter
  • Wildlife Value: Nectar for bees and other pollinators in cooler months
  • Tolerance: Drought-tolerant (once established), heat-tolerant, wind-tolerant
    coastal-tolerant; light frost (protect from hard frost)
  • Planting Density: Shrub borders/rock gardens: 0.6–1.0 m centres for a dense, dramatic effect
  • Pet Friendly: No — not pet-friendly. Contains bufadienolide toxins; ingestion can harm pets/livestock

Where It Works Best

  • Sunlight: Full sun to part shade (colour and compact habit are best with strong light)
  • Soil: Very well-drained sandy or gravelly loam; raised beds/mounds for heavier soils; avoid waterlogging
  • Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8–12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 14–21 days in summer; rarely in winter (let soil dry between waterings)
  • Maintenance: Mulch with gravel; remove spent flower stems; prune lightly to shape after flowering; fertilise sparingly in early spring
  • Lifespan: 10–20+ years in suitable, free-draining sites
  • Climate Zones: Suited to temperate and Mediterranean SA gardens, including coastal areas
  • Soil pH: Neutral, but adaptable to mild Acidic/Alkaline

Landscape & Design Ideas

  • Swap “hedges” for succulent mass plantings and gravel borders for striking texture
  • Feature in large pots near entries and outdoor living spaces
  • Mix with agaves, aloes and ornamental grasses for a contemporary, low-water palette

Why You Will Love It

A set-and-forget drought hero: sculptural blue-green leaves with red edges, cheerful winter bells for pollinators, and exceptional heat/coastal resilience — all with minimal watering and care.

Soft as Rabbits Fur🥰
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx, Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx
The softest blanket. Feels like sleeping with rabbit fur. I did anticipate it being a little heavier and it was not but that is ok I love it non the less. Would recommend to anyone! I have not attempted to wash it yet as the last one I ruined washing so were gonna wait as long as possible before washing this one. I would def recommend not drying. It has a luxurious high quality feeling to it that keeps me thinking about it all day! It's not to thick therefore it its too hot but keeps you comfortably warm. Amazon offered a %20 discount at checkout. The Blanket ended up being cheaper than I thought it would be So far I've used it for a couple weeks and 0 signs of shedding! I use it on my bed as I don't want it to get ruined. I fold it up each morning and put it away. I ordered the 60×80it fits a twin sized bed. I love this size and won't order anything smaller.

Ultra Luxurious and Washable
Size: 50''x60'', Color: Ombré Hazel Brown
I’ve never written a review this fast. This throw is the height of luxury, style, comfort, feel and appearance. I used on our bed, only on my side as my husband has different temp needs. It doesn’t shed. I only needed the 50x60 inches, but it’s available in 50x80. What clinched the purchase for me was that it is washable and can be tumbled dried. It’s the perfect weight. Not too light and not too heavy. (Goldilocks would have loved it.) It looks and feels like real fur! It’s pricier than other throws but it’s 100% what I wanted and beyond my expectations. 5+ Stars!!!!

Beautiful and comforting!
Size: Throw(50" X 60"), Color: Tie Dye Brown
Love, Love, Love this throw! I love the feel, coloring, and wearability! When my Tortie Cat lays on it, it is hard to see her! This is warm, soft, and Beautiful! Looks as good today as it did when I got it for Christmas! The Unhide Marshmallow brand was my favorite, before, and I do still like, I hope this washes up as well as they do. It is heavier, But very comforting!

Nice blanket
Size: Twin(60" X 80"), Color: Tie Dye Charcoal
My partner and I fight over this blanket. It’s so soft and comfortable. I wish I got a bigger size. It’s a little bit darker overall than the photo. I believe I got the black/gray color. It’s a good weight, not too heavy but not too light.
