Nursery contributed plant descriptions
It's nice to be surprised when the (middle of winter) random seed purchase turns out to be something cool. Many of the newer hybridized Acrtotis are well behaved, low-growing types. This character is a bit more rowdy, doesn’t care if you don’t think its leaves conform to “foliar best practices” and holds its own in a garden full of boof-headed Grevilleas and show pony Proteas… and that’s just fine with me.
