I love this plant because of its soft furry torpedo-shaped leaves. the picture is of the base of the plant, there are taller stems not visible. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Dear Kathy,

It's Senecio haworthioides. I like it for the same reasons that you do - 'tis a pretty one.

I like this plant too, so I have been propagating it from cuttings. Hope to do more when it gets warm. Meanwhile, the parent plant has been doing very well in the ground in my sunniest succulent bed.
