Grand Marnier Dyckia, lapostollei, White Dyckia, cactus, succulent, live plant

Dyckia ‘Grand Marnier’ is a rosette-forming succulent that displays recurved, silver-green leaves with white spines on the leaf edge. Also features orange flowers on tall stems.

Best in well-drained soil with regular water in summer, little in winter. No fertilization needed. Plant in containers, rock and cactus gardens, or as an accent. Thrives in extreme heat.

Dyckia marnier-lapostollei (White Dyckia) This very slow growing succulent has mostly solitary stemless rosettes to 6 to 10 inches wide with up to 10, but usually fewer, triangular-shaped 4 to 8 inch long gray-green leaves that are covered in silvery white scale-like hairs (trichomes) so that the plant looks almost completely white. These leaves twist and curl as they recurve downward and have large claw-like recurved spines along the margins. Mature plants can send up a spike 2 to 3 feet tall in summer with orange-yellow tubular flowers scattered near the tip - these flowers have extra floral nectarines that drip sticky nectar to attract birds. Plant in a well-drained soil in full coastal sun to light shade - leaf ends shrivel in excess heat. Give regular irrigation when plants dry from spring to summer and withhold water in winter. Protect from cold temperatures - intolerant of temperatures near freezing and much happier when temperatures are well above this. A protected under-eave location or bright covered patio is a great place to keep this plant outdoors in our winter rainfall climate - otherwise figure on bringing it in for the winter.
