Senecio haworthii

Senecio haworthii

 - syn. Kleinia; Comm. Woolly Senecio)

We saw this plant first, in its original home of South Africa. A perennial succulent dwarf with unbelievably attractive upright lobes of pure white due to the fine white hairs covering all surfaces of the leaves. This makes this the ultimate “touchy-feely” plant! Infrequent flowering stems produce small yellow buttons in its native conditions, but not often seen in cooler climes.
