Stapelia Gigantea - Carion Flower
$24
200mm Squat pots advanced growth
This is a plant that really grabs your attention, for the gardener who wants to try growing something unusual, carrion flower (Stapelia gigantea) is a cactus-like succulent that certainly fits the bill.
The Giant Carrion Flower is notable because it boasts the biggest flowers – up to 40cm across! – of any South African plant. These flowers can be borne at any time of year, though mainly in late summer and early autumn. Their succulent, green stems are small by comparison, growing around 25cm tall only.
Some wild populations are declining due to extensive collection for ornamental and medicinal use. In traditional medicine these plants are used to treat pain, constipation and bruising, and also as a magic charm against evil and lightning. They are popular and easy to keep in the garden or in pots, especially as it requires very little water.
