Tongue plant, also more formally known as Glottiphyllum depressum, is a fantastic plant offering thick foliage, bright blooms, and light fruit. It almost looks like a desert dandelion at first glance. However, this plant offers so much more for North American gardeners. For new gardeners and those who like succulents, this plant is an exciting variation. It’s also a small item, perfect for metropolitan apartment dwellers.
