Nursery contributed plant descriptions
This intriguing little South African native forms mounds of fuzzy leaves that produce deep pink buds opening to charming, white, fragrant flowers. During the days the flowers put forth a strange fragrance but at night they increase their olfactory output becoming a sweet, heady fragrance. Hardier in leaner, thinner soils.
Fragrant dark green leaves on low growing, 10" tall plants, support beautiful red-budded white flowers. South Africa.
