Pelargonium xerophyton is a caudiciform member of the large and varied genus Pelargonium.

It forms a tiny gnarled tree shape with very small fleshy leaves that can be trimmed to suit taste. It has white, usually solitary flowers, the upper petals are narrow with a crimson blotch.
Habit: It is a compact, semi-deciduous, shrubby, perennial succulent plant reaching a height to 45(-60) cm only in especially favourable conditions (usually only 10-30 cm tall) and profusely branched from the main stem.
