Comments:
This succulent is well suited for the alpine and rock gardens because it will tolerate dry conditions quite well. Plant in full sunlight and in a well drained soil. Cannot tolerate cold, wet soils. When they flower they produce star-shaped flowers. The main attraction are the rosettes of thick, succulent leaves. Makes an excellent container plant. Propagate by separating offsets around the base of larger plants.
