Plover Eggs

Commonly known as “Plover Eggs”, this is one of around 28 species of Adromischus, small clumping leaf succulents which are very popular, easy-to-grow container plants. A dwarf shrublet with woody stems and attractive, fleshy, thick, silvery-green leaves that bear darker spots and have a waxy ‘bloom’ on the surface. Flowers are small and greenish-red, but it’s the oddly-shaped leaves that make the plant especially appealing to collectors.

Changes in light levels will affect colours, and a position part shade is best. Very little watering is required (less than once a month). Native to South Africa.
