Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Sep 26, 2019 8:56 PM concerning plant:
Widespread coastal and inland Dudleya from California with yellow or red flowers. Leaves vary in color from greenish to yellow, brown, or reddish, but tend to be whitish when they emerge. They may die off in the summer. Stems are very short and solitary or branching into 2-4 rosettes from 2-5 inches wide each. Flowers are tubular and upright and often very colorful. They may be yellow, red, or red with orange or yellow inside.
This plant is relatively cold and heat tolerant for a Dudleya, due to its location at higher altitudes and more inland locations than most Dudleyas. Found on both sides of the central valley. A number of subspecies have been described. Not common in cultivation.
Released as ISI 18 in 1962 (subsp. minor), ISI 416 in 1963 (subsp. ovatifolia), and ISI 911 in 1975 (subsp. cymosa).
