Cleretum patersonjonesii

Cleretum patersonjonesii is a small mesemb from Namaqualand, known from two wild records around the Kamiesberg area. Most Cleretum are short-lived winter annuals that germinate with autumn rain and flower in spring, so treat it as one: sow in autumn, grow cool and bright, and collect seed before the summer drought.
