Description
Introducing the stunning Greenovia, also known as the Mountain Rose—a rare succulent that mimics the beauty of a blooming rose. Native to the volcanic slopes of the Canary Islands, Greenovia forms compact, petal-like rosettes that stay tightly closed in dry conditions and open up gracefully during their growing season, resembling a perfectly sculpted rose in nature’s palette.
This succulent is a true collector’s dream, and one of the most photogenic plants you’ll ever own. Often mistaken for a flower, the Mountain Rose is a slow grower with seasonal dormancy, making it a fascinating plant to observe throughout the year.
