Tiger jaws is a dependable perennial succulent with low rosettes of fleshy, triangular leaves edged with spiny "teeth," from which its common name derives. Fierce though it looks, the spikes are soft and flexible to the touch. In fall or winter, the plant may produce attractive yellow flowers with long, narrow petals. Native to South Africa, tiger jaws is a warm-weather succulent hardy to zone 9, but is normally grown as an indoor houseplant.
