Sprouts of Bristol

This succulent has come far from its native South Africa to be awarded the RHS' Award of Garden Merit as an ornamental, and it's not hard to see why this one has caught the eye of some of the most senior botanists in the country! Its textured leaf-tips make it look more like limestone than succulent. When it flowers, the bright yellow blooms stand out against the 'stony' backdrop. And you can grow it indoors or in a greenhouse, as long as it gets plenty of bright light. Growing no taller than 4cm, this plant spreads a little further outwards than upwards, and will love a spot with some sun in your home or under glass. **Scientific Name** Titanopsis calcarea (sun-like limestone plant) **Common Name** Concrete Leaf, Sheep's Tongue, Carpet Leaf, Jewel Plant **Origin** Native to arid areas in South Africa **Light** This plant loves bright light and will thrive with a few hours of direct light each day- a south or west facing window will help it get the most of its sun in the UK! **Water**
