Features

The spiky, silver-laced leaves form round rosettes and an overall symetrical, impressive plant.

• Adaptable as a Houseplant
• Drought Tolerant *
• Heat Tolerant
• Landscape Plant
• Native to the Americas

*Even drought tolerant annual and perennial plants will need water for the first few weeks while they get established. Shrubs and trees will need to be watered for the first year after they are planted. After this, little or no supplemental water will be necessary when planted in the ground. No plant is truly drought tolerant in a container; water is necessary for all plants in containers.

Growing Tips
Succulents are long term plants where temperatures remain warm. Garden height is the final height the plant will reach after several years, not the height the plant will reach in one season. Succulents are generally slow growing plants and will take time to mature.
