Chalk dudleya

Chalk dudleya Dudleya pulverulenta

What is the plant

Dudleya succulents are a small genus; some look similar to the echeveria. The group includes 40 to 50 different types, with most native to Western States and Mexico. “LiveForever” is the epitome of low-maintenance; it literally thrives on neglect.

Attractive, robust and long-lived, the Dudleya succulents often have a small, charming rosette. These occur on branches as they mature. This plant grows in a variety of shapes and has a range of habits. It may be branched or unbranched, and does not grow from its leaves. It can only propagate from seed, cuttings, or division, so not all Dudleya cultivars are available. “LiveForever” or giant chalk are common names for the plant.
