MDCC (Monster de Cota Cota)

Also written as MDCC, Monster de Cota Cota

If you've been looking for a plant with some serious personality, this is it. MDCC is one of those clones that never seems to get boring. It has that super melty, twisted look that makes you stop and admire it every time you walk by.

Nothing off this one is listed at the moment. It's growing in the yard and gets cut when it's ready.

Tell me when it’s cut

When a cutting off MDCC (Monster de Cota Cota) is listed, I’ll email you to say so (if you are not signed in, after you have opened the link I send first). I only have one of most things, so it is first come — nothing is held.

Email me when this is available. I understand this notice is about the plant I asked about, that I can opt out from any message, and that my address is not shared with anyone.
