Aspilia Strigosa

Aspilia strigosa is a unique and resilient plant native to the arid regions of southern Africa. It is known for its striking appearance, featuring narrow, grass-like leaves and distinctive, spiky flower heads. This plant has adapted to survive in harsh, dry environments by storing water in its thick, fibrous stems. Its ability to thrive in low-nutrient soils makes it an important component of its ecosystem. Despite its tough exterior, Aspilia strigosa plays a vital role in supporting local wildlife and maintaining biodiversity.
