Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Delicious rosettes of chocolate colored leaves...a tender succulent that is perfect for containers or even a houseplant in bright light. Easy in full sun to light shade with occasional summer water. Likes to dry out between waterings, especially indoors. Winter blooming with tall spikes of orange/pink flowers. Multiplies quickly, so bring a single rosette inside before a hard freeze and save it for spring. Frost hardy to 20 to 25F, USDA zone 9.
