The Avonia papyracea is a unique plant species that occurs naturally in South Africa and Namibia. Here this Avonia grows in a sandy area between rocks. The plant genus Avonia consists of small-growing species.

The Avonia papyracea has all small green leaves. Because this Avonia grows in very hot areas with a lot of sunlight, the leaves are covered with many white papery scales. These scales protect the Avonia papyracea from the bright sun and ensure that the moisture the plant has absorbed does not evaporate.

If you want to see the Avonia papyracea blooming, you have to be quick. The flowers only stay open for one hour and then have finished blooming. The flowers of the Avonia papyracea appear in our country in the fall. Small yellow-white flowers grow from the head of the Avonia papyracea.

Fortunately, the flowers of the Avonia papyracea self-pollinate. This makes it easy to get seeds.
