Guide

The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.

A succulent annual or subshrub from rocky, sun-exposed slopes across the eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, and the Caucasus, storing water in its fleshy leaves. Give it gritty, fast-draining mix and the brightest light you can offer; let the soil dry out fully and water only when the leaves feel slightly soft and the mix is dry several inches down. It tolerates dry air and rots if kept wet.
