Description: Adapted. Diverse group of succulent perennials prized for drought tolerance, ease of care, and attractive foliage in a wide range of colors and forms. Most feature fleshy, water-storing leaves, often in rosettes or mats, with star-shaped flowers attractive to pollinators. Many varieties are evergreen or semi-evergreen in mild winters. Thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, though some tolerate partial shade, especially in summer heat. Low maintenance and typically deer resistant. Ideal for rock gardens, containers, borders, and groundcovers.
