Details

The Chinese Dunce Cap is a unique succulent that begins as a low, dense spreading mat of lovely, small blue-grey rosettes. It then forms a multitude of conical spires that grow to 6” tall, blossoming with pink and white frilly flowers. They work well in containers, rock gardens, and fairy gardens. After flowering, they die, but will readily self-sow and make side rosettes to repeat the magic every year.
