Cephalophyllum pillansii
succulent
Description
Cephalophyllum pillansii is a succulent plant native to the arid regions of South Africa. It is admired for its compact growth habit and vibrant floral displays. This ground-hugging perennial features fleshy, triangular leaves that often display reddish hues, especially under stress. In the spring, it bursts into a profusion of daisy-like flowers, ranging in color from orange to pink, adding a splash of color to the landscape. The plant's ability to tolerate drought and poor soil makes it a low-maintenance choice for rock gardens, borders, or containers. Cephalophyllum pillansii prefers full sun and well-draining soil, making it well-suited for xeriscaping projects. Propagation is simple and can be achieved through cuttings or division. Consider providing this plant with bright sunlight and avoid overwatering for the best results.
