Blooming Dunce Caps

One almost needs a magnifier to see the tiny, complex blooms of this Orostachys succulent.

The name ‘Chinese Dunce Cap” comes from the stage when the flower stalk first appears in September.

This tiny plant likes a sunny, protected spot with excellent drainage.

I have some in a trough at almost eyelevel so it can be admired up-close.

FLOW in FALL

  1. Love this post and the information about this lovely plant. I have it growing along a rocky edge. My first plant was dug from a friend of a friend’s garden and gifted to me about a decade ago. The flowers remind me of little tiny bridal bouquets. So pretty.
