    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Check out that COLOR! Wonderful brownish-to-orange leaves covered with a haze of glaucous gray, I don't know any other hardy succulents that can match the color on this beautiful plant. Reported as hardy to zone 5 (we'll be testing that ? let us know if you do too) I want to plant this everywhere... Imagine how amazing rich blue flowers would look growing next to this... And in a container? Where it won't die even if you don't water it? Amazing. An inch or two tall, spreads indefinitely ? Joseph .....Zone 5 ?
