Information

heavenly daisey, Vyftand-bobbejaankool,

After a fire, the othonna grows quickly and the klipspringers nibble at the flowers. This blue-grey succulent shrublet is ideally suited to coastal gardens and deserves to be more popular with gardeners. They often much shorter when growing close to the high-water mark. The red leaf margins vary from finely to coarsely toothed.
