Plant Description

Bowiea volubilis is a fascinating bulbous climber admired for its unique twining succulent stems. This striking plant, often called the sea onion, belongs to the rich North African flora. Gardeners appreciate its unusual growth habit where slender vines spiral gracefully, adding a sculptural touch to any collection. Its bulbous base stores water, helping it thrive in dry conditions, which enhances its ornamental appeal.

The Bowiea volubilis bulb, sometimes referred to as Bowiea volubilis bulbifera, is the heart of this plant’s charm. Its smooth, rounded shape contrasts beautifully with the twisting green stems. Known as a climbing Bowiea, it produces slender vines that can reach upward, making it perfect for trellises or decorative supports.
