Orostachys iwarenge 'Chinese Hat'

Orostachys iwarenge 'Chinese Hat' is a fascinating hardy succulent grown for its neat rosettes of fleshy, silver-green leaves and its extraordinary cone-shaped flower spikes that resemble miniature pagodas or traditional Chinese hats. Architectural and highly unusual, it makes a striking addition to alpine gardens, rockeries, gravel gardens and containers.

Forming attractive clumps over time, the low-growing rosettes provide year-round interest before producing dramatic upright flowering spikes in late summer. Like many members of the succulent family, the flowering rosette naturally dies after blooming, but is replaced by offsets that continue the display.

Grow in full sun in sharply drained soil or gritty compost. Water sparingly, allowing the compost to dry between waterings, and avoid wet conditions during winter. Exceptionally easy to grow, this hardy succulent is ideal for gardeners looking for unusual, low-maintenance plants.
