Rhinoceros bush
Rhinoceros bush is a resilient, shrub-like plant notable for its gray, needle-like foliage and robust, rhizomatous growth form. It thrives in sandy soils, indicative of its native fynbos habitat in South Africa. Each stem on rhinoceros bush is topped with purple, thistle-like flower heads, which bloom mainly in the southern hemisphere's spring and summer months. Adapted to fire-prone environments, rhinoceros bush exemplifies survival through vigorous post-fire regeneration.
