Group of California native succulents with a characteristic rosette shape and chalky appearance that grow on rocky outcroppings and coastal cliffs. Provide these plants with good drainage and afternoon shade in hotter areas. Larger forms can provide a striking accent plant in summer-dry gardens. Plant Dudleyas at a slight angle to help water drain away.

Examples: Giant Chalk Dudleya (D. brittonii, 12-18”), Coast Dudleya (D. caespitosa, up to 8”), Bluff Lettuce (D. farinosa, 4”, forms small colonies), Chalk Liveforever (D. pulverulenta, up to 2’).
