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.

Functional divider for windows privacy
Size: 8 Panel, Color: White, Size: 8 Panel, Color: White
I ordered both a six and eight panel version of the white divider. There was some confusion on the FedEx deliveries. The eight panel divider arrived at first, but Amazon showed both as delivered. I had to contact both the seller and Amazon to learn that the six panel divider was to arrive the following day by FedEx, which did occur. Both the boxes were a bit dirty and had some small punctures. This divider had a top area and bottom area set of plastic wrap tapes, both of which were loose or undone. (The eight panel divider was not so, and properly wrapped.) The top of thid divider looked a little dirty, but passable/cleanable. The seller should consider wrapping the entire product with bubble wrap to protect against potential delivery/shipping physical and water damage. (FedEx left the box by my outside door, which could have gotten potentially soaked in rain. One better be home to take delivery if the weather is bad.) This said, the divider was easy to set up, with all the metal hinges working. No assembly was required, just unboxing and standing up. The left side was a little uneven on the bottom with the first panel, but ok. In combination with my mini-blinds, it provides the additional layer of privacy I desired. I even don't notice outside headlights and tailights through the windows with my room lights on. Additionally, the divider is easy to adjust to allow access to my windows for opening and closing. So, no need for me to hang curtains and damage my drywall. Overall I give the product a C grade because of the lack of protection for the FedEx shipping. (As a former University told me years ago, "The A has been cheapened. In this class you will work for an A." And, I got a B. So, I am a bit jaded. :-)) Lastly, if one had cats and dogs, or even small children, the divider could be easy for them to topple over. I would not consider these dividerd in that case. My motto is, "Safety first."
