Dudleya abramsii

A small rosette succulent of rocky outcrops in southern California and northern Baja California, with several subspecies on serpentine, limestone or granite. It grows in the cool, wet winter and goes semi-dormant in the hot, rainless summer, so it needs full sun, sharp drainage and a dry summer rest.
