Pachypodium saundersii – Kudu Lily | Rare Caudex Succulent with Starry Blooms
Exotic. Sculptural. Collector’s Treasure.
Introduce a piece of southern Africa’s natural artistry into your collection with Pachypodium saundersii, also known as the Kudu Lily. This striking succulent shrub is admired for its bold caudex form, spiny architectural stems, and seasonal bursts of star-like flowers.
The plant’s swollen, water-storing base paired with upright, thorned branches gives it a dramatic silhouette, softened by lush green foliage. From late summer to early autumn, clusters of delicate white to blush-pink blooms appear, turning its rugged form into a masterpiece of contrast and beauty.
Compact yet commanding, the Kudu Lily thrives equally well in containers, bonsai-style displays, rockeries, or bright indoor spaces—making it a versatile and truly collectible specimen.
