Description

This succulent reaches 1'-2' tall and wide. Leaves are gray colored and fleshy, forming rosettes on top of each other to about 1' tall. Leaves are edged with small, white spines. In spring, scarlet orange flowers appear above the rosettes. It does best in full sun and well draining soil. This looks good with rocks and as a small ground cover.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
