Parrot's Beak spills fine silver-gray needles over the edge of whatever holds it, then hangs curved orange-red flowers along the stems like small bright claws. Lotus berthelotii arrives as a live 4-inch plant.

This is a spiller with a job to do. Set it at the rim of a hanging basket, a tall patio pot, or a raised wall bed and let the stems run; the cool silver foliage earns its space even between bloom flushes in spring and summer. It also makes a loose, glinting ground cover in a hot dry spot. Full sun to light shade, sharp drainage, and a light hand with fertilizer, which otherwise turns the stems soft.

Fun fact: The species is native to the Canary Islands, where it has become vanishingly rare in the wild even as gardeners grow it by the thousands.

Ships established and in good health, guaranteed.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
