Y06-27 Dyckia brevifolia 'Ribeirao do Cocho' - site - New!

Zone 8b to 10 Native to Santa Catarina, Brazil Grows to 10"h x 18"w

Wild brevifolia! Dyckia brevifolia is an easy to cultivate plant that forms a compact rosette of bristly, rich-green succulent leaves. It performs best in well-drained soil, and likes some afternoon shade during the summer. In late spring, 2' to 3' tall flower spikes are produced carrying brilliant, yellow flowers. The plants being offered are seedlings derived from seed sent to us by a Brazilian Dyckia enthusiast. He collected the seed from his plants that originated from Ribeirao do Cocho, Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Y07-99 Dyckia choristaminea - Plum Colored Form - New!

Zone 8b to 10 Native to Brazil Grows to 6"h x 10"w

Spaghetti bowl Dyckia! This Dyckia is versatile and tough. The small mature size and non lethal spines makes it touchable, easily manageable and quite suitable for pot culture. Its tolerance to cold (temperatures down into the low teens for brief periods) also make it adaptable to being grown outdoors, in zone 8b south. Like most in the genus, it can tolerate periods of drought. But if a summer monsoon takes hold it will revel in the abundant moisture. A rosette of this clone is composed of numerous, spaghetti thin, 6" long leaves that are generally grey with plum undertones. The late spring, 10 " tall flower spikes are topped with large, fragrant, yellow flowers - adding another showy element to this easy to touch and love Dyckia.

Y04-65 Dyckia dawsonii - New!

Zone 8b to 10 Native to Brazil Grows to 8"h x 18"w

Spiny pinwheel! The symmetrical, pinwheel-like rosettes have a great amber-bronze color in good light. The margins of the leaves have prominent, sharp, recurving teeth that are a much lighter color compared to the leaf centers and add contrast and highlight to the overall appearance of the plant. A very good species that has added great form and spination to a number of great hybrids.
