Peperomia incana – Felted Peperomia

Peperomia incana, commonly known as Felted Peperomia, is a distinctive evergreen perennial prized for its soft, heart-shaped foliage covered in fine white hairs. Native to Brazil, this attractive member of the Piperaceae family has a unique velvety texture that gives the plant its characteristic “felted” appearance.

The fine hairs covering the leaves help protect the plant from intense sunlight and dry conditions, making it an interesting and relatively easy-care choice for bright indoor spaces. Its compact growth habit and unusual foliage make it particularly well suited to containers, shelves, desks and sheltered patios.

Also known as Felted Pepperface, Fuzzy Pigface and Amazon Fuzz, Peperomia incana adds texture and visual interest wherever it is grown.
