It is a tall, shrub-like succulent, but when grown in a container it does not reach the 6 foot that is possible when grown outdoors.   It has stems and leaves that are densely covered with short, coppery colored hairs. The leaves are bronze to gray on the underside. The top side of the leaves are felted with fine, cinnamon colored hairs. The leaves fold upwards from the middle. It is slow growing, but can reach 6 feet in height although it typically does not reach its maximum height. It produces small, yellow flowers that appear in clusters at the plant tips from late winter to early spring. Provide sun on the coast to light shade inland. This plant is not cold hardy, so if you live in a zone that gets colder than 32 degrees it is best to plant this succulent in a container that can be brought indoors in the colder months. It does well in full to partial sun.
