Athanasia dentata
succulent
Description
Athanasia dentata, commonly called the Toothleaf Athanasia, is a distinctive shrub native to South Africa. It is recognized by its finely divided, toothed leaves, which give it an appealing texture. The plant produces small, yellow, button-like flowers that attract pollinators. It typically grows to a height of around 1 meter. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil and can tolerate a variety of soil types. This plant is relatively low-maintenance and can be a beautiful addition to a fynbos garden. Propagate by seed or cuttings. Deadheading the spent flowers will encourage more blooms and keep the plant looking tidy.
