That's all the label says. I have about 4 pots of this now..arms detached with the slightest effort. Cats,wind,tiny areas of rot..arms all over the place. And idea of what it is exactly? It has a small rust colored bloom.

Looks like an Orbea. Any details on the bloom besides "rust colored"?

That could be it Mick. Melt,I noticed last fall it flowered...in 2 days the bloom was totally faded. I missed taking a photo. Funny thing is..even into spring that faded bloom would attract flies. Like a Fly potpourri.
