Nannorrhops — 1 species

Cultivation

Nannorrhops ritchieana is a plant of arid and semi-arid regions often with very hot summers. It can experience very cold winters in its native habitat, with temperatures falling as low as -15°c, possibly a bit lower, though this is often accompanied by heavy snow which acts to insulate the plant from the extremes of cold. The plant is far less tolerant of cold in moister climates, where it can be killed by just a few degrees of frost.
