Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Charming South African succulent with each rosette not much bigger than a quarter. From winter rainfall, Fynbos or chaparral country in thin soils eventually forming clumps to one ft or more across, barely reaching above the soil line with windowed leaf ends and tiny thread-like white flowers. A favorite since Sean's childhood and still rare in cultivation. Fine pot plant for a bright windowsill or garden where temperatures don't fall below 20F, USDA zone 9A. Full sun to part shade.
