Cotyledon Tormentosa Variegata Yellow | Yellow Variegated Bear's Paw

Cotyledon tomentosa 'Bear's Paw' Yellow Variegated is an uncommon variegated form of the familiar Bear's Paw, producing thick, softly hairy leaves patterned in green and warm yellow to yellow-green. The characteristic claw-like tips develop contrasting pink, red to burgundy colouring, particularly under suitable light and seasonal conditions.

The fleshy leaves are densely covered with fine hairs, retaining the soft, velvety texture characteristic of Bear's Paw. Yellow variegation develops in irregular sectors and patches through the green foliage, with the amount and distribution varying naturally between leaves, branches and individual plants.

Unlike the strongly variegated White Variegated form, this plant generally retains a substantial amount of green, chlorophyll-containing tissue. In our experience it is consequently a hardy, vigorous plant that grows readily under normal succulent conditions. The yellow variegation can range from relatively subtle markings to broad areas of yellow across individual leaves.
