Monsonia herrei (Syn. Sarcocaulon herrei)

A winter growing member of the Geraniaceae from South Africa, this is a plant we've come to love. It needs excellent drainage doesn't like to sit in moisture. That given, it's fairly easy to grow, though slow, and flowers dependably. It makes a delightful small bonsai-like feature plant.

Monsonia herrei (Syn.: Sarcocaulon herrei)

A neat Winter grower, the Sarcocaulon name has been officially absorbed by Monsonia for some time, but because of morphological differences, it still is mostly known as Sarcocaulon. It can be used to great effect in a bonsai container.
A member of the Geraniaceae family, it hails from Namaqualand, Northern Cape Province, Republic of South Africa.
