    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Dyckia 'Burgundy Ice' is a resilient succulent with gracefully curving burgundy leaves adorned with white spines. It retains its rich color year-round when exposed to full sun. During the summer, it produces vibrant orange flowers that attract hummingbirds. This plant naturally forms a dense colony over time and is ideal for rock gardens and containers. It is both heat and cold-tolerant, making it a versatile addition to xeriscapes. The leaves have captivating white undersides, and its ground-hugging growth habit integrates well with various garden compositions. It's a low-maintenance plant, rarely requiring pruning, and is a favorite of hummingbirds while generally deterring deer. Gardeners should consider its unique characteristics when caring for it.

    This plant has been grown in a 4in container. You will receive a very similar plant to the one in the picture. The plant is shipped with as little dirt as possible.

    An armed and dangerous (well a little) living sculpture…one of my favorites as a single, delectable specimen in that special artsy-fartsy pot! Turn an octopus upside down, add a few spined arms, color him burgundy with a Jack Frost overcoat and set him up on that cute little patio table with a couple of umbrella drinks…TA DA! 6-8” tall and 12” wide, sun to part sun…gritty fast draining soil, water when dry and bring in when temps fall below freezing.

Best in well-drained soil with regular water in summer, little in winter. No fertilization needed. Plant in containers, rock and cactus gardens, or as an accent. Thrives in extreme heat. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ from frost!

    Surprisingly frost hardy, sharp spined succulent, with rosettes of long, narrow, pointed leaves in shades of burgundy to nearly black, all edged in distinctive white spines. Flowers are orange, adding to the color palette. To 6-12" tall and wide. Full sun for the best color in well-drained soil with little summer water necessary. Frost hardy to 20-25 °F, USDA zone 9. Possibly colder if really, really, really dry. Also does well in containers. Bromeliaceae

    Long, succulent, burgundy leaves and white teeth make for a dramatic display. Dyckias are the most cold tolerant of the Bromeliad family. They are drought tolerant but thrive on frequent watering during the active growing season. Keep plants on the dry side during cold weather.

    Tender but awesome container plant. Plant this in a pot with an interesting rock or maybe some cobalt blue glass or a piece of driftwood or all three and suddenly you have a very Hobbsian jewelbox container of shocking beauty.
