Produces stems of beautiful orange-yellow flowers in mid-summer. Grows up to 30cm in diameter. Produces offshoots from main stem in abundance.

Haworthia - cooperi var. pilifera

This lovely green "jewel" originating in South Africa is a great choice for someone who is looking for a spreading Succulent for a large container or indoor rock garden. Enjoys warm weather, but prefers the shade of a decorative volcanic rock and well drained soil. Should be watered regularly in summer. Produces very long thin stems with small pink-white flowers. One offset can grow up to 12cm in diameter. It is grown mainly from offsets, but can be grown from seed.
Looks best paired with other rock garden plants such as Aloes and Agaves, but should be given some distance from these plants so it can spread.
