Therefore, the plant is the reminiscent of Medusa's head (caput-medusae).The plant is native to Cape Town, where it grows along the rocky coast in sandy soils. Around the year 1700, the plant was brought to the Netherlands. The species is one of the first plants that Linnaeus described.

Super! Zes maanden na het zaaien is het plantje goed geworteld en ongeveer 6 cm lang.
Deze gezaaid op 9 juli, vandaag 2 september is de eerste gekiemd.
