Pachypodium ramosum Seeds (Madagascar Palm) – Exotic Succulent Seeds – Grown in Elfin Forest, California (Copy)

🌱 Description

Pachypodium ramosum — known for its elegant, compact form, early branching, and sculptural trunk. This rare caudiciform succulent is a dwarf, early-branching relative of Pachypodium lamerei, prized for its thick, spiny caudex and upright, umbrella-like foliage. This is not the commonly sold Pachypodium lamerei — it’s a more compact, collectible variety ideal for bonsai-style shaping, container gardens, or sun-soaked indoor spaces. Ramosum flowers are fragrant, releasing a pleasant scent — a key difference from lamerei, whose blooms are unscented. 

Please note: These are seeds you are purchasing, not live plants. You can select the quantity you’d like from the available options.
