    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Totally rare & totally adorable, this tiny .75" densely rosettey succulent flaunts fairy like .1" flowers. Cuteness!!!! Endemic to the Canary Islands, Monanthes is a small genus of wee little succulents in the Crassulaceae family. Closely related to Aeonium, Greenovia & Sempervivum, it likes to hang out in rock cracks in its native lands, making it a perfect rock garden addition. Good drainage is key, along with a sunny Winter spot as it doesn't love Winter wetness & won't put up with frost. Perfect in a little pot, so you can bring it inside during the wet/cold months.
