Conophytum scitilum (syn. C. minimum subsp. scitulum) is a cute living pebble forming roundish, succulent heads with bold dark spotting and lines against a blue-grey background. The centre of each sphere, which is actually two closely fused leaves, gives rise to highly fragrant, night-blooming, star-like white flowers with yellow centres. They can form colonies with time. Our plants are potted one plant per pot.
