Titanopsis 'Karoo Red'

Hybrid Titanopsis

Quick Facts

Full and Afternoon Sun Xeric  Legend

Description:

The result of unintentional cross pollination in my cold hardy mesembranthemum garden, this stunning little hybrid is actually a cross between two genera, Titanopsis x Aloinopsis spathulata. The resulting plant is truly stunning! Although the flowers will vary slightly from plant to plant, you can expect an early spring display of showy reddish-orange flowers (some with a lavender eye) that are held just above a tight evergreen mat of blue-green foliage. The plant has a deep growing tap root. Plant it into a lean, fast-draining rock garden soil, preferably situated in a rock crevice, and mulch with crushed angular gravel (see photo). Be sure to plant it bare root. Let the soil in the pot dry out a bit before gently teasing off the soil and uncoiling or cutting off any kinked roots. Don’t water for two few days after planting to let the remaining roots callus-over any wounds. ‘Karoo Red’ is a wonderful companion for planting with Rabia or Nananthus. Zones 6-9.
