Orostachys malacophylla var. aggregata [exclusive]

Highlights

Orostachys malacophylla var. aggregata (Ohba): Glossy green rosettes that shoot up into tall cones when they bloom in fall. The aboveground material dies back in winter during its dormant period, but it sprouts new offsets on stolons each spring, eventually forming a dense mat. This variety is native to Japan.

PLEASE NOTE: Dormant in winter months. If you order November - March, plant will arrive dormant, but will typically re-sprout by mid-May in most climates.

Orostachys are easy, frost hardy plants that thrive outdoors with full sun and great drainage. Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Orostachys can tolerate extended drought. This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
