An unusual plant called a baseball plant. This
plant is really neat because it forms a huge
caudex or swollen trunk. It goes dormant in
the winter time and looses all its leaves. In
the spring/summer it sprouts palm-shaped greenish-blue
leaves with pretty red flowers. This plant is
great in containers and grows well in full sun.
It likes to have good drainage, a cactus/succulent
soil mix is perfect. Avoid freezing temperatures.
Perfect unusual plant for collectors, not easily
found!
