Tender. Rossettes of green wavey leaves.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Charming succulent perennials forming rosettes of fleshy leaves, gray-green with overtones of lavender. Handsome by themselves and striking with coral-orange flowers spikes. Bright light out of the hottest sun, well-drained soil, occasional water in summer and as little as possible in winter. Expected to be frost hardy briefly in the lower 20s F, USDA zone 9, so best in containers that can be winter protected where temperatures can drop lower.
