 Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved |
This charming succulent from the Caucasus is sadly underused in gardens. The leathery foliage has a broad creamy yellow margin with a puddle of green in the center. It is evergreen and so is valuable in a part shade rockery. In the winter the leaves take on apricot tones. It is the spring show of arching flower stems that makes Chiastophyllum oppositifolium `Jim's Best' the most memorable. The bell-shaped flowers are small but vibrant and form densely on the branched racemes. Late spring to early summer. 6-8 in. x 6 in. Yellow flowers Part Shade Zones 6, 7, 8, 9 |
