This fast growing Madagascan pachycaul is the largest of the rutenbergianum group and the most southerly in range. Clusters of violet/white flowers appear in spring before the plant comes out of dormancy. A tree-like pachycaul that is suitable for landscape use. Our plants are seed grown.

For lovers of weird, a nearly leafless, shrub-like member of the Didiereaceae that can reach nearly 10 feet tall but grows in a rather haphazard clump of tangled branches.  The cylindrical stems are kind of olive green with silver tricomes and bears scattered conical spines which are stout but not ‘dangerous’. 

Native to southern coastal Madagascar in the regions of the thorn forest from near sea level to almost 1,000 feet. A dioecious species that requires both sexes to set seed, but is easily propagated from cuttings.  Reportedly slow growing but we do not find this to be especially true.  Best grown in full sun to partial shade, well drained soils and moderate watering. Protect from freezing.

A Gasteria x Aloe hybrid, but the exact cross we do not know. About 5 inch rosettes are dark green with a gray wash, white spots with tubercles and whitish margins on the tapering leaves. Pretty, easy and a clumping plant.

A smaller hybrid that has decorative foliage, large teeth that are not sharp but are more rubbery, tapering, triangular leaves to about 3 inches long and a procumbent habit. The foliage is green, but blushes orange to red in strong light. The inflorescence bears red flowers. A choice plant, easy to grow.

Known as the 'Sea Onion', a bizarre caudiciform from Southern and East Africa which grows bulb-like with a peeling green caudex which can reach about six inches in diameter. The seasonal 'foliage' is actually a filamentous vining inflorescence in the brightest shade of green. This can be trained onto a trellis or left to hang from a basket. Grow in partial shade in a well draining media.

A cliff dwelling lithophyte native to the Chihuahuan Desert, our plants are from seed collected in Sta. Catarina, Nuevo Leon. Sometimes called the octopus Agave, because of its sinuous and curled, spineless, narrow leaves. An unusual aspect of this species is that it does not immediately die like most Agave species, after flowering. Eventually forms clusters of plants, attractive with their pale green leaves. Suited for full sun to partial shade. Needs good drainage.

A spiny dwarf shrub from South Africa. Gray-blue to olive green branches with numerous reddish brown spines. Branches at a small size. Can grow to over 12 inches in height. Puts on a nice shows of yellow flowers when blooming. This is considered the minor form.

This is a hybrid that happened accidentally at our nursery. One day our former succulent grower saw some migrating finches visiting the Aloe vaombe and saponarias which were in bloom. Many went from plant to plant several times, either way, they are nice and vigorous and will probably grow large.

An attractive South African species from a variable genus that contains diverse plants such as vining, scandent species and thick, succulent, stone-like plants. This species looks as though it may be related to Kalanchoe or similar plants, but for the distinctive bloom, with it they typical red pom-pom bloom of many Senecio species. This species has a tall succulent stem that will form adventitious offsets, with succulent leaves that look like Myrtle leaves, green with a coat of silvery tomentum.
