Silver Dollar Cotyledon
Silver Dollar Cotyledon is named for its distinctively round, silvery-gray leaves that resemble silver dollars. This succulent forms a compact rosette of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves with a powdery coating, giving them their characteristic color. The 'Silver Dollar' cultivar is appreciated for its ornamental appeal and drought tolerance. In addition to its silvery hue, it may produce tubular, bell-shaped flowers in shades of orange or coral on tall stems in the right conditions. This cultivar is often grown in containers, rock gardens, or as part of drought-tolerant landscapes, adding a touch of elegance and texture to the surroundings.
