Description

A stunning succulent with dramatically ruffled, fleshy gray-green rosettes and a soft red edging that is more intense in full sun. Red-orange flowers appear on tall stalks in late summer. Adds a wonderful texture to rock gardens, dry borders, and containers. A frost-tender evergreen. Clump forming rosettes quickly reach 9-12" tall and wide. This succulent thrives outdoors in USDA zones 9-11 but will grow indoors in all zones. Requires excellent drainage; thrives in porous, rocky, unimproved soils. Most intense color in full sun; protect from intense afternoon sun in very hot summer regions. Water regularly during first growing season to establish root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates periodic drought. Fertilize sparingly.
