Products > Dyckia 'Silver Superstar'   Dyckia 'Silver Superstar'      Habit and Cultural Information Category: Succulent Family: Bromeliaceae (Bromeliads) Origin: South America Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Orange Bloomtime: Summer Height: <1 foot Width: 1-2 feet Exposure: Full Sun Irrigation (H2O Info): Low Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 20-25° F 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. Low water requirements. 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 dug up and propagated from the Santa Barbara garden of Jim and Sally Prine.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.     [MORE INFO]
