Dudleya pulverulenta aka Chalk Dudleya

Dudleya pulverulenta, also known as chalk lettuce, chalk dudleya, and chalk liveforever, is a hardy and easy-to-care evergreen succulent. Its silvery, waxy rosette is one of the largest in the Dudleya family and may greatly contrast with its habitat. It is also known for its advanced inflorescence, consisting of pendant, hummingbird pollinated flowers, with the longest corolla and highest nectar output in the genus. It has the largest range of all the Dudleya, being found from southern Monterey County in California to the Sierra de San Borja in southern Baja California. This undemanding plant grows in rosettes with pale green silvery shaded spoon-shaped leaves and bears many pendulum-like flowers that range from white and pale green to pinkish and red petals arranged in flower spikes. It flourishes around spring, usually from May to July. A native of Southern North America and Northern Mexico, it is virtually disease-free and does not need much water to thrive. Chalk Dudleya is a relatively rare houseplant that does best in long-lasting, direct light and should be less than 1 foot from a window. Despite being an evergreen, it usually only lives up to 3 years when cultivated. Overall, Dudleya pulverulenta is a beautiful and unique succulent that will dazzle you with both its silvery leaves and numerous flower spikes.
