Our first specimen of this succulent plant with flowers held on stalks delighted us for several years in our rock garden, before finally disappearing. So on the occasion of a complete redo of the rock garden, we acquired a new plant. I hope it likes its spiffy new home!

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: rock garden, orchard nursery area

One or more images of this plant are included in my stock photo catalog
