I am a diverse collection of robust plants with fleshy leaves and stems.
I am the ultimate low maintenance plant thriving on neglect.
I have many interesting leaf forms and plant shapes including paddle leaves, tight symmetric rosettes and bushy or trailing columns of teardrop leaves.
Most of my varieties will bloom with orange to red bell shaped blooms arranged on a long stem, typically in late spring to early summer.
