Cocoon Plant
Senecio Haworthii
Overview
The Cocoon Plant or Senecio haworthii is a distinctive, drought-tolerant succulent with striking cylindrical leaves wrapped in a fuzzy, white, cocoon-like texture. Typically reaching 6 inches in height, this evergreen perennial thrives in well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Feature it in rock gardens or as a potted specimen for a touch of unique texture. Hardy in USDA zones 10-11, the Cocoon Plant is a low-maintenance choice.
