Dyckia 'Silver Superstar' - A beautiful succulent plant with flattened 1 foot wide rosettes of pale pink-tinged silvery leaves and orange flowers in summer. This is one of the slowest growing and attractive Dyckia that we grow - a choice specimen plant for the garden or pot. Plant in full sun with little to occasional irrigation. Hardy to 20-25 F. This plant likely has another valid name but we named it 'Silver Superstar' to differentiate it as one of many untagged Dyckia forsteriana hybrids dug up and propagated from the Santa Barbara garden of the late Jim Prine.
The information displayed on this page about Dyckia 'Silver Superstar' is based on the research we conducted about it in our nursery horticultural library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include some of our own observations made about this plant as it grows in the nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we have received from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information that will aid others to better grow it.
