When the annuals start looking crispy, Dudleya brittonii stays cool as a cucumber. A sweet rosette of gray-white leaves, this succulent glows radiantly when paired with grasses and small-leaved natives. From Baja, she's sort of pushing the boundary of CA native, so not on the wishlist of the purists out there. Pink tinged stems rise Winter to Spring, bringing little yellow flowers with them.
Sun: Part shade or morning sun is ideal.
Soil: very well drained, containers with lots of lava rock are recommended if you're worried about garden soil conditions
Plant: Anytime
But it: Cactus Jungle! Great nursery with bonus whippets. I also wonder if the Dry Garden carries them...
Good for: rock gardens, succulent gardens, white & gray gardens, contemporary gardens, planting into rock walls, adding alternative textures
