Notes
'Fred Ives' graptoveria (Graptoveria 'Fred Ives') is a succulent for containers, borders, and low maintenance gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. This evergreen grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide, and it tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Silver squill, Heavy Metal switchgrass, and Mister Frans dahlia.
