Key Highlights

Sculptural Growth Habit
Twisting stems and unpredictably shaped foliage give 'Monstrose' the appearance of living sculpture. Each plant develops its own distinct form, making it a one-of-a-kind focal point.

Velvety Texture & Earthy Tones
Its large, triangular leaves are cloaked in a soft, felt-like coating, with hues ranging from silvery sage to olive and warm brown. The tactile surface and muted colors create a sense of both intrigue and calm.

Rare Yet Radiant Blooms
Though flowering is infrequent, the payoff is stunning—bell-shaped blossoms in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, or red occasionally emerge, providing a vivid contrast to its sculptural foliage.

Tough Yet Elegant
Built to thrive in tough conditions, 'Monstrose' is low-maintenance and hardy, ideal for both seasoned collectors and adventurous beginners.
