An intriguing succulent with purplish-green stems covered in soft spines, Huernia macrocarpa Penziall produces striking red, star like flowers in summer, which are known for their strong and distinct fragrance.

This variety is perfect for containers, making it an excellent indoor plant, or for sheltered outdoor spots, though it should be protected from frost. It thrives in sunny, well-draining positions and benefits from a slightly dry soil between waterings.
