Stapelia gigantea - 'Carrion Flower' 4in

Stapelia gigantea (Zulu Giant or Carrion Flower) is a spineless succulent sporting thick, four-angled green stems that may scramble or climb, topped by massive star-shaped blossoms up to a foot across. It typically grows about 6–12 inches tall and can spread 1 to 2 feet wide in ideal conditions. The plant prefers full sun to light shade, thrives in gritty, well-drained soil, and is drought tolerant once established. In fall it blooms pale ochre-yellow flowers with maroon lines that emit a strong odor to attract pollinating flies. It is hardy in USDA Zones 9–10.
