These famous California native succulents are admired for their many varieties of color, shape, and flowers. These extremely low-maintenance plants are known as “liveforever” because they can grow in areas with very little soil, even right on rocks! Attracting hummingbirds and other pollinators, dudleyas provide little islands of flowers when other plants are not blooming. Dudleyas are highly prized around the world, which has led to poaching becoming a concern in the wild. It’s best to ensure the dudleyas you purchase are seed-grown, like ours! Growing dudleyas in your garden adds beautiful color, shape, and texture, and it helps protect our beloved native succulents.
