Ceropegia bosseri – also known as the Black Dragon – is a rare and striking succulent vine native to Madagascar. Treasured by collectors for its dramatic form and sculptural beauty, this elusive species features slender, twining stems often likened to a dragon’s tail. With its graceful, trailing growth and mysterious aura, it’s a true standout in any collection.
The foliage is deciduous and dark green, appearing sparsely along the vine. The leaves may drop during dormancy, allowing the elegant, coiling stems to take center stage. But the real showstopper is the flower: a long, tubular bloom about 4.5 cm in length, with a softly speckled, swollen base. At its top, five arched, dark lobes rise dramatically like a crown or claw, covered in fine, stiff hairs. These lobes form a cage-like structure that’s both alien and exquisite. A ring of white hairs surrounds the flower’s mouth, enhancing its otherworldly appearance.
Often called the Black Dragon for its dark, fantastical form and tail-like vines, Ceropegia bosseri is as rare in cultivation as it is beautiful. This listing is for a healthy, rooted specimen, perfect for collectors seeking something truly unusual and eye-catching. A botanical curiosity with undeniable charm.
