Dudleya edulis  also called Lady Fingers or San Diego Dudleya  is an aptly named succulent plant given its graceful  silvery-green cylindrical leaves.  The slender tapering ?fingers? radiate out from a central point  adding an unusual texture as well as color to the garden landscape.  This native plant is truly local for San Diego?you might see it sprouting from rocky outcroppings while hiking the back country. Dudleya edulis grows to be about 1? high by 1? wide  and is tolerant of cold down to 10 degrees Fahrenheight.  In spring it blooms with small white flowers.  As with most succulents  it appreciates a little shade during the hottest part of the day and well-draining soil.  Supplemental water needs are minimal  as it stores water in its fleshy leaves. Tuck it into rock gardens to appreciate its evergreen appearance  and liven up a leafy garden with a native succulent!
