About
Othonna clavifolia grows on dry, rocky slopes in Namaqualand, South Africa, within the Asteraceae family. Its club-shaped (clavifolia = club-leaved) succulent leaves are highly distinctive, serving as water-storage organs. The caudex forms a swollen stem with branching that creates a bonsai-like structure. Yellow daisy-like flowers are charming. As a winter grower, it is active from autumn through spring and dormant in summer. During the growing season, full sun to bright partial shade and moderate watering are appropriate; summer requires complete drought. Reasonable cold tolerance. The unusual club-shaped leaves and bonsai-like branching make it a distinctive representative of winter-growing South African caudex plants.
