Stapelianthus hardyi

£12.00

Rarity: basic Type: Stapeliad

Meet Stapelianthus hardyi, where the flower face is a drama queen in deep maroon. Its star shape and textured surface make it look like it’s plotting something mischievous.

This plant doesn’t just sit pretty. The body has a rugged, sculptural form that could be mistaken for a small alien landscape. Each stem twists and turns with a mind of its own, daring collectors to look twice.

It's the kind of plant that makes you question its motives and that’s exactly why it’s here.
