Orostachys spinosa
Chinese dunce cap is a slow-growing, fleshy-leafed succulent and is remarkably hardy, thriving in temperatures as low as -40 degrees C.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
They prefer very shallow soil, which works to your advantage when planting in odd and unusual containers for succulents such as hypertufa troughs.
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Late Summer
When the plant is mature, which takes about five years, it produces the conical flower stalk responsible for its common name and dies afterwards.
