Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This South African member of a very large genus is one of the tiniest. A childhood plant -- that is, having been in our/Sean's collection since some time in the early 70s-- that has rosettes of little teeny weeny, pointed leaves, each about the size of a nickel, growing fairly quickly to form 5-6 “ clumps in a few years. A lover of either winter or summer moisture but tolerant of drought any time. The perfect plant for a windowsill or for a miniature container garden -- perhaps in a teeny tiny condo. Good drainage is a must in full light to dappled shade except in the hottest climates. A rock garden plant in USDA zone 9 or above.
