Abstract

A new and distinct Cotyledon cultivar named ‘Mint Truffles’ is disclosed, characterized by a compact morphology, contrasting silvery mint-green leaves margined in crimson. Plants freely offset at an early age, allowing plant to be produced commercially as a clustering 9 cm. Plants, can also be produced in a larger pot size for the landscape. Free offset production at an early age enables faster propagation of the cultivar in the commercial nursery. Plants root quickly and grow vigorously; these characteristics, in combination with the tendency to freely offset at an early age, result in attractive clusters quickly, enhancing production intervals in the commercial environment. The new variety is a Cotyledon , part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, Sedum and others. Cotyledon is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio, or as landscape plants.
