Dudleya edulis

Fingertips Dudleya (Dudleya edulis)

A Southern California succulent of finger-like pale green leaves rising in loose clumps, quite unlike the flat chalky rosettes of its relatives. White star flowers stand on slender stalks in early summer. Wants a slope, a wall crevice or a gritty container and absolutely no summer water.
