Nananthus

Great succulent bonsai: this species is sought after by bonsai impassionate as it will form large rootstock (caudex) in time, the thick root and trunk eventually can be trained to the shape of a odd mini-bonsai.

Grey-green leaves turning purple under sun/water stress. Yellow flowers with bold red midribs. Hardy (-12°C) in well-drained soil. Excellent for rock gardens, gravel gardens and drought-resistant landscaping.

Compact rosettes with blue-green, white-dotted triangular leaves. In autumn, it blooms with golden to pink flowers, carmine-striped. Slow-growing, cold-hardy to -12 °C, and ideal for pots and sunny or semi-shaded spots.
