Cephalophyllum spissum
“3-Angled Finger Plant”

Blooming twice a year with flowers I’m quite enamored with - this rare & sturdy succulent is completely unfazed by the neglect it receives in a hot & dry corner of our nursery. A slow, compact clumper with chubby 2”, 3-angled finger-like grayish-green leaves, its 1.5” blooms display unusual salmon-rose colored silky-rayed petals & a showy white center with colorful anthers. Ours seems to have reached its full size at 10” tall & 18” across. A rare treat for a container or succulent/rock garden. I’m going to plant one in a pot now that we have more, to see how much prettier it can truly be!
