Fingertips

Fingertips are slow-growing succulents that are named for their upright, fleshy, finger-like leaves that grow up to 4-8 inches tall and 1 ft. wide from just below the soil surface. The leaves are typically  pale green or yellow-green, but turn shades of orange and red at the tips in the summer. Small white flowers emerge in the spring in clusters atop stems that peek out above the foliage up to 1 ft. high to the delight of hummingbirds.

Like other Dudleya species, fingertips are extremely drought tolerant and thrive in containers or rock gardens. This species pairs particularly well with California Fuchsia, Seacliff Buckwheat, and various cactus species.
