Maintenance Tips

Dudleya brittonii is a dramatic, rosette-shaped succulent also known as Giant Chalk Dudleya. The plant stays low to the ground, but the individual rosettes grow 12 - 18" wide. This is one of the most drought-tolerant plants you can have in your garden. It can survive with almost no maintenance, pruning, or even supplemental water once it is established. To keep it looking and performing its best, do not plant it in lower spots in the garden or anywhere that moisture collects. A rock garden environment would be perfect to keep this plant looking and performing its best. This plant can take full sun along the coast but would do better with some light shade when planted inland. As it matures, the older leaves will collect under the large rosette, and these older leaves can be removed occasionally to keep the plant looking tidy.
