Dudleya farinosa (Bluff Lettuce)

Variable in appearance from drab to spectacular, Dudleya farinosa (Bluff Lettuce) is an evergreen succulent with charming rosettes, 8-12 in. across (20-30 cm), of spade-like, pale green to chalky blue-white leaves. The fleshy leaves and stems often display bright red coloring along their edges and tips in the driest conditions. From late spring to early fall, the rosettes send erect flower spikes that bear clusters of brilliant lemon-yellow, urn-shaped flowers prized by hummingbirds and butterflies. This plant offsets and multiplies by producing new rosettes. Native to the coastline of Oregon and northern California, Bluff Lettuce is commonly found on bluffs and coastal hillsides. This plant does not tolerate hot, droughty, summer exposures. It is hardy to 20°F (-7° C) and does not tolerate temperatures over 50°F (10° C). Low maintenance, Bluff Lettuce is a lovely plant and an excellent choice for coastal gardens, rock gardens, or containers.

• Grows up to 4-8 in. tall (10-20 cm) and 8-12 in. wide (20-30 cm).
• Easily grown in dry, rocky, well-drained soils in part shade. This succulent is drought tolerant but does require occasional summer water. Do not overwater as it may cause root rot. Bluff Lettuce is also salt spray tolerant.
