Rosularia rosulataPerfect Choice Rare Hardy Succulent for Troughs, Crevices and Rock Retaining WallsRosularia rosulata is another one of those rare hardy succulents that once seen always coveted. I’ve tried to find this one everywhere, and finally when I saw seeds in the seed list from the Alpine Plant Club of B.C. I had to have it.
They are very slow growing, but as you see from the picture, extremely intricate. The fuzzy edges are not even visible without magnification, and the arrangement of the spiraling leaves is exquisite. Hopefully there will be some for sale in 2013. These four will be planted in pride of place where they will get the perfect drainage they insist upon, and once they’re established and happy, may make a colony of chicks. Rosularia rosulata is only one of several other Rosularia species, including Rosularia chrysantha, Rosularia rechingeri, and Rosularia sempervivoides. I highly recommend these for trough gardens, pocket gardens and rock retaining walls, planted with succulents such as some of the tiny Sempervivum arachnoideum and alpine plants.
