    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Yes, we do love our incredibly rare Greenovias here at the nursery. Endemic to the cliffs of the Canary Islands, they make perfectly round & dense, 6” rosettes of emerald green overlapping leaves looking much like those roses you drew when you were a kid. Happy & unusual for the edge of a bed, in a container or tucked into rock walls, they spread a bit by side rosettes & look super combined with low matting dark succulent Sedum ‘Voodoo’ & Delosperma nubiginum. Showy, frilly, lemon yellow daisy clusters on sturdy stalks appear after a year or two. Best in well-drained soil with some afternoon shade in hotter areas. Can be grown indoors, too!
