Raoulia
Also called Vegetable Sheep
Raoulia is a genus of New Zealand plants in the tribe Gnaphalieae within the family Asteraceae.
Many Raoulia species grow in alpine areas, forming very fine and dense growths. These compact growths form large amorphous cushion-like masses with only the growing tips visible. Due to their shape and form, the plant clusters resemble sheep from afar, this giving them their alternate name, vegetable sheep.
Slow spreading, flat rock garden plant with silver-gray, almost moss-like, foliage.
sun: full sun, part shade
