Description

This succulent perennial will grow 24"-36" high and wide. It is much more compact and densely foliated than the species, with pale gray green, round fleshy leaves edged with a thin red line. During the summer, vertical stalks rise above the foliage and end with bell-shaped, dangling orange flowers. It does best in full sun in coastal areas and needs afternoon shade in warm inland areas. After established, it does best with occasional summer watering but otherwise, drought tolerant. Leaves can poison goats and sheep. A great plant for containers.

Water Saving Tip:

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
