When I saw this plant last month it was completely new to me, I had never even come across its name before. With its narrow, silvery leaves it looked to be pretty well adapted to a drought resistant life-style so I bought one. It was only when I got home and looked it up on the Internet that I found out the truth. Apparently it comes from a hot area of the world, southern Africa, Zimbabwe, but its common names are River Star and Otterbush. This sounded ominous and as I read on it got worse as it seems it grows along rivers and watercourses and even among boulders in streams. 'It's easily settled within watery circumstances' was another comment. Anyway, never one to shirk a challenge I planted it in area not far from the kitchen door so that it can be the recipient of any spare water available and we'll see what happens.
