Native: Kenya

It is small-growing, sprawling and spreading, with small caudexes. In summer, the leaves turn an attractive red/purple color. It does need the sun to flower, but the leaves are more interesting than the flowers (cyathia). It requires bright sun to light shade exposures. Use very draining soil, water during the growing season. But allowed to dry before watering again.
