I nearly fell over when I first saw this amazing manfreda at Yucca Do Nursery. The 1' long rubbery, lizard-like, wavy, glaucous leaves are heavily spotted chocolate. Each clump lays flat on the ground, radiating out to form a starfish-like rosette. The winter deciduous rosettes are topped with 3' tall spikes of alien antennae-like flowers in June...cool flowers and cool foliage. Well-drained soils are best for this new drought-tolerant rock garden or container gem.
