green succulent with yellow flowers Barbary RagwortBarbary Ragwort, a fantastically strange succulent, was previously sold under the name Othonna, a name which seasoned gardeners may recognize. Bright yellow, daisy like flowers are the calling card of this surprisingly cold hardy African plant. Even out of bloom the plant is eye catching, with waxy, blueish green, oblong leaves.

Barbary Ragwort, a fantastically strange succulent, was previously sold under the name Othonna, a name which seasoned gardeners may recognize. Bright yellow, daisy-like flowers are the calling card of this surprisingly cold hardy African plant. Even out of bloom the plant is eye-catching, with waxy, blueish green, oblong leaves. Mature plants can become substantial and take on a mounded form that complements their leaf architecture. To maximize cold-hardiness, taper off watering to these plants as fall nights grow cool and grow them with a gravel mulch on a south-facing berm. A spreading habit, low growth, and penchant for dry sites make this a good plant for erosion management, crevice gardens, and rock gardens.
