About Dudleya virens (Rose) Moran
Dudleya virens (Rose) Moran produces fleshy, strap-shaped leaves that are 8–20 cm long and 1.5–3 cm broad. The leaves taper from the base or from near the middle of the leaf, are mostly green in color, and are arranged in a rosette. Its flowers are white, with five petals that measure 7–10 mm long. Flowers bloom in April, May, and June, and hummingbirds visit the flowers to feed on their nectar. This succulent species grows naturally in the Palos Verdes Hills along the coast of the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County, California; on several of California's Channel Islands; and on Guadalupe Island off the northwestern Baja California Peninsula, Mexico. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in the specialty horticulture trade for native plants and succulents. It is used for planting in containers, drought-tolerant landscapes, and habitat gardens. It grows best in well-draining soil, and performs well in full sun or light shade.
