Orange Live Forever (Dudleya)

A gloriously showy bloomer, Dudleya cymosa has short multi-flowered spikes of brilliant red-orange flowers in late spring. The highly succulent foliage grows in the form of superbly sculptural silver rosettes. This higher elevation ecotype, discovered by native plant expert Tim Hanis of Salt Lake City, has exceptional cold hardiness! Use it in the rock garden planted on a shaded north or northeast facing crevice or rock face where it appreciates protection from the afternoon sun. Low fertility, well drained soil.
