Bunny Succulent, known as the Monilaria moniliformis, is a small and sparsely branched, cushion-forming succulent shrublet native to South Africa. Because it looks like the furry ears of a rabbit, it is also known as Bunny Ear Succulent. In the winter, its leaves disappear, but in the summer, it blooms solitary long white flowers. It produces two pairs of leaves united at the branch, and its soft leaves are green and round tipped. With its low maintenance and easy-care requirements, Monilaria moniliformis is the perfect choice for any gardener looking for a unique and visually appealing succulent.
