Description
Lithops – Living Stones – are the plant world at its strangest. Each plant is a pair of fused, pebble-like leaves patterned and coloured to vanish among the gravel of its native southern African desert, then a daisy-like flower erupts from the split between them in autumn. This mix delivers a range of species, colours and stone patterns, so every seedling is a surprise.
