it adds Mediterranean elegance to gardens and landscapes

Stapelia leendertziae Size:1L while its prolific summer blossomsStapelia leendertziae commonly known as Black Bells, is a striking and unusual tufted, creeping succulent with pale green, knobbly upright stems that form dense clumps over time. Its most eye catching feature is the pendant, bell shaped flowers, which range in colour from deep reddish purple to almost black. While visually stunning, the flowers emit a strong scent reminiscent of rotting meat, a clever adaptation that attracts flies for pollination.
