Description

San Diego Dudleya is also called the "string bean" plant because of its shape. It is great for containers or rock gardens and filler spaces. It is very drought tolerant in it's natural habitat, but will look better with occasional watering in home gardens. It's grey green color provides an interesting contrast to other dark green plants in the garden.
