Description

This succulent is very small, growing only 2"-3" high and 8" wide. Leaves are flat, gray green and in tightly coiled rosettes. It produces orange, pink, and red blooms during spring and early summer. It can grow in full sun in coastal areas but will appreciate afternoon shade in warm, inland areas. It needs well draining soil and becomes drought tolerant once it's established. This plant will form "babies" or offsets and will spread up to 30".
