Posted by Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Apr 2, 2019 9:26 PM This northern form of Siempreviva (Dudleya attenuata) is geographically distinct from the southern form Dudleya attenuata subsp. attenuata but only really distinguishable in cultivation based on flower color. Subsp. orcutti makes white flowers, often with a pink midline or hue, while subsp. attenuata makes yellow flowers. [ Reply to this comment | |
