Starfish Flower (Stapelia scitula)
A miniature version of the larger Stapelias, its small slender stems are no more than 3" in height. Throughout the year, scitula is adorned with 1" reddish star-shaped blooms, each the size of a quarter. Free-blooming and at times prolific, this is the perfect plant for a sunny dry windowsill, especially where room is limited. Forgetful watering is a plus, as it needs some dryness between waterings to flourish. Note: plants are seed-grown creating some slight variation in color.
Hardy to Zone 10 and higher for outdoors.
Full to partial sun, grows to 2-3" in container, minimum temperature indoors 50°, intermittent bloomer.
