Fabulous orangey pink clusters of flowery bells dangle from 12-18" stems, Spring through Fall on this delightful dry garden workhorse. It's one of my all-time favorite succulents.? Crazy easy to grow, mine is happy next to the beach with a once a week spray down with the hose. I'm constantly giving away cuttings now that it's established & growing like mad. Good drainage is the key to success, but let's talk about its amazing grey blue whorled leaves for a moment. It looks like a Dudleya & Senecio had an amazing love child. Bees & hummers are big fans. Cool texture for a container, too! Native to South Africa it grows to 30" tall & 3' across.
