{"product_id":"dudleya-brittonii","title":"Dudleya brittonii","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Baja native is from just south of the border, making it a California native to those of us considering ecosystem over geographic territories. Despite being arguably the most common Dudleya species in cultivation, it’s actually from a relatively narrow range, growing only between Tijuana and Ensenada along the coast, where it embeds itself in the steep volcanic cliffs. Given its proximity to densely populated urban areas, and the fact existing specimens are relegated to the most inaccessible and undevelopable areas, it’s not unreasonable to imagine that this species once extended well into present day California before the residents of San Diego County claimed the valuable oceanfront property for themselves. Regardless, it’s persisted well in collections over decades, probably thanks to its relative ease of cultivation and the fact it’s possibly the largest-growing plant in the genus. We find it to be quick growing and a fabulous entry for California native gardeners and succulent collectors searching for deeper connection to nature than mass-produced cultivars bred to be colorful. The blue leaves covered with a powdery farina are elegant nonetheless, and we especially appreciate the skirt of dead foliage that forms on older specimens, giving the plant more character as it ages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51954371428632,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/dudleyabritonii.png?v=1776321364","url":"https:\/\/rareplantcatalog.com\/products\/dudleya-brittonii","provider":"Rare Plant Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
