Planted with my semps in a raised bed under a hoop house. It is really pretty and thank you Greg.

I kept mine in a container this time, so I could put it on the covered deck this winter. Seems to have worked well.

It's getting ready to bloom. Wow, and it is still February. Wonder if that means it will have plenty of time to set seed?


@CD'sSister, thank you so much for these plants Marilyn.

I will be watching to see how the flower looks. I am so very glad it looks like it is going to bloom. Is that a tender succulent in with it? Do you keep it on the porch or inside?

Such a cool plant!

Good question, Marilyn...and now

The blooms will take a while still!! But yes it will set seed this first year
How exciting

Thank you all. I am so excited and can hardly wait to see the open blooms. I will try to get a macro shot of the flowers.

That is Dudleya farinosa growing with it. It is hardy here in my zone 8. It grows along the Oregon Coast on those giant rocks that are out on the beach. During high tide the rocks are surrounded by water. The Dudley plants grow high up on the rocks, along with a lovely species of Sedum spathulifolium.

How cool Lynn!

I wish all of you could have been there to see the Dudleya growing on those rocks. The colors were amazing, and they had just finished blooming, with just a bloom here and there still showing. I would love to go back when they are in full bloom, probably about July.

Mine died.

Sorry to hear that, Julia! Maybe somebody, somewhere will be selling one this weekend?

That woul be cool. I'm not sure what happen one day fine, few days later dead. Think I had that for 2 years. I wanted it to blooms so I could sow the seed.

Great plans for it but it wasn't cooperating, huh?

Oh Julia. Can you give the remains a fitting burial?
Mine is blooming up a storm, if you call what they are doing blooming.
I'll try to get a photo in the morning. I'm trying to figure out how to collect the seed, and how will I know when the seed is ready?

Lynn the seed is very small, and good luck, I caught the seed by putting small pots under the flowers It worked and they germinated, and then I didn't water as I should have and they died I'm not so great with seedlings
Julia sorry yours died
Wouldn't a semp this coloration be cool though!

Okay Greg, thank you for that information. Can you remember what part of the year they germinated after going to seed?

Within a couple weeks after blooming, but mine bloomed beginning of June so it was by the end of June early July that I had babies coming up

But how can you tell if they bloom? I sure don't see anything that looks like flowers.

Did anyone's bloom? I would like to replace mine.
