This evergreen succulent is also known as Conchita, Chalk Dudleya, and Chalk Lettuce because of its chalky, greenish-white leaves. It grows in a rosette form close to the ground, and produces a 1 1/2 foot tall flower spike from May to July, with small, red flowers that attract hummingbirds. It is drought tolerant, and grows best in partial shade and dry, rocky soil.
