4" Gasteria Little Warty
Gasteria Little Warty sounds like the name of a homely little troll in a fairytale. Actually, it's a nice little succulent with some really nice little traits. Picture a star-shaped rosette with stubby, thick, pointed leaves in deep greens and greys speckled all over with bumpy, tiny, white dots and sometimes rimmed in a fresh light green. Random lime green striping can decorate the leaves' tops and underneath. Brightest light, even sunlight, brings a rusty reddish cast overall. Although all those rosettes crowd and jumble and jostle each other, liking the close company, they are very slow growing and shallow rooted. Gasterias are perfectly happy in shallow depth pots, trays, and window boxes without needing transplanting. Baby Gasterias peek out from their mama's bottom leaves; super easy to pot up for new Gasterias to share. Flowers are crowds of bubblegum pink tubes with light green, striped tips dangling from lavender/pink tall stems. Hummingbirds love the blooms and so will you.
