Panda Plant is a soft, velvety evergreen succulent that grows in rosettes with long fleshy gray-green foliage that has brown spots along the tips. Red flowers bloom on dense spike-like clusters that are also fuzzy in spring. Prefers full sun and dry, well-drained soil. Very drought tolerant once established, but intolerant of frost. Toxic to animals.
