Description

Dudleya hassei is a succulent ground cover with gray, finger-like, swollen leaves that only reaches 6" tall but may spread several feet. Long vertical stems appear in spring, with white flowers. Hummingbirds love this plant. It does best in coastal areas in full sun and infrequent but deep irrigation. It prefers sandy, well draining soil. This plant looks great in containers and around rock outcroppings.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
