| Description | Fascinating wavy leaves are heavily dotted with chunky chocolate-brown spots. In late spring, the clumping rosettes are topped by 30-inch stalks with curious flowers, the most showy part of which is long burgundy stamens topped with yellow anthers. The low, ground-hugging habit and waterwise nature make it a perfect addition to mixed succulent containers or rock gardens. Evergreen in frost-free climates. |
