Notes
Zebra haworthia (Haworthiopsis attenuata) is a succulent for containers, rock gardens, and accents. 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 forms a slow, clumping mound of green leaves with white bands, about 12 inches tall and wide. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought, so it needs little care.
Pairs well with Echeveria, Lady fingers, and Hens and chicks.
