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.

Great Ball Launcher!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Our dogs love this ball launcher! I can throw the ball long distances without any arm strain. The balls wear out, and as described by others, tennis balls don’t fit. Buy extra balls if this is of concern. We bought a few of the “Chuck It” rubber 3” balls and they have worked well for our dogs. It’s a great value and fun for the dogs.

Chuckit!! Just Chuck it!!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Chuck it further than your skinny little arms can chuck it. Doggo loved this, I loved this and when we were done Doggo promptly hid it under the porch so I couldn’t take it from him. It’s not a squeaky toy, it’s for fetch. You wing it out toward the yard and it flies, bounces if it’s lucky then is attacked in an adoring manner. We like it!!

Larger and stick well
It's hard to find larger patches particularly ones that stick well. They work well for small, shallow wounds and stay on even where skin moves a lot like on the brows or shoulder. Also because of the tapered edges, they are not very noticeable. I've never had any luck wearing makeup over any patches these included and suspect makeup works better over 8m ones, but I have managed to dot a little concealer over eyeshadow primer in the center of these patches with some success.

Work great. No irritation
I've tried several other brand and none work as well as Olive Youg at doing away with acne pimples. I highly recommend them
