OT029: Nananthus vittatus (previously Rabiae albipuncta) COLD HARDY CACTUS

In cold climates, (zones 5 and 6) this stunning member of the ice plant family is comfortably nestled in the tight spaces between rocks in the crevice garden.  The heat sink created by the stones keeps the soil temperatures in the safety range.  The chubby, wedge-shaped dark green leaves form rosettes on a compact plant 3-4" high and 8-12" wide.  In early spring, large, flat bright yellow flowers appear for a few weeks.  Each flower petal has a stripe of red down the center.  (zones 5-6) 7-11. Full sun to bright shade.  Prefers dryer summer and moister winters.  This plant also performs beautifully on the sunny windowsill giving you gorgeous winter flowers!  Sold in 2.5" pots.
