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.
This information about Dyckia 'Silver Superstar' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
