Aizoon paniculatum

A small, hairy-leaved succulent perennial of the Cape west coast and Cape Peninsula, described by Linnaeus. It grows in a mild, Mediterranean winter-rainfall climate. Water it in the cool season, keep it drier in summer, and give it full sun with sandy, sharp drainage.

Where it grows wild

Sandy coastal flats, strandveld and lowland fynbos in the winter-rainfall Cape. This is assumed from the recorded localities and the genus.

Records rarely carry an elevation. Most climate sites lie at 100-185 m near the coast, with one at about 1,400 m in the Cederberg.
