Plant in full sun for best foliage color. Water infrequently. Hardy to down into the high teens° F without damage.

The name for the genus honors Josef Maria Franz Anton Hubert Ignatz (1773-1861), who was the Prince and Earl of Salm Reifferscheid-Dyck and whose family ruled an area west of Cologne and Dusseldorf, Germany. The name is usually seen as Salm-Dyck. We received this plant untagged with a collection of plants from Alice Waidhofer. Originally we had this plant in a shady location where it was a nice greenish-red color but when we put it out in full sun the foliage turned a very nice dark red. It is similar to the cultivar we call Dyckia 'Jim's Red' but is a little smaller and even redder.
