Flowering Season

From Early Summer TO Late Summer

In the warmer months, this plant will flower and the small flower heads will last until the temperature starts to fall. They may become dormant as it gets cooler and the daytime light reduces.

 

Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Cuttings are difficult to root thus pot grown plants should be sought from specialist (succulent) growers.
