Notes
Veined haworthia (Haworthiopsis tessellata) is a succulent for containers and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy soil. It forms a slow growing clump that stays 3 to 5 inches tall. Green and white flowers appear in spring and again in summer.
