Hairless, succulent perennial from a slender rhizome, stems 5-25 cm high, tufted. Leaves alternate, narrowly lance-shaped to elliptic, but rounded and fleshy in cross-section. Leaves are mostly near the base and stem leaves tend to drop off before the plant flowers. Sometimes covered with a white-waxy powder; often turning bronze colour in autumn. Flowers are small and yellow with narrowly lane-shaped petals. Showy flowers and interesting leaf colour make this a very valuable ornamental for the front of borders, rock gardens and containers in dry sunny areas. Combine with nodding onion, woolly sunflower, penstemon or alumroot. Photo by Dave Polster. Click here for propagation information.
Perennial, succulent herb that reaches a height of 20 cm. Leaves are strongly flattened, fleshy and broadest beyond the mid-length (thumb or spoon shaped), crowded, sage-green and reddish in full sun. Surface is sometimes wrinkled. Flowers are bright yellow with pointed, lance-shaped petals. They appear in flat-topped clusters atop leafy, flowering stems. The flowers and leaf colour make it a showy plant in a dry and sunny rockery, border front, in containers, or as a ground cover. Photo by Emily Gonzales. Click here for propagation information.
