Notes
Giant chalk dudleya (Dudleya brittonii) is a succulent for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought, so it needs little care. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It reaches 12 to 24 inches tall and wide.
Pairs well with Afterglow echeveria, Lipstick echeveria, and Fox tail agave.
