Dudleya parva
Also called Conejo Liveforever
Conejo dudleya is a small, deciduous, rare succulent native to a narrow ridge in the Conejo Valley area of southern California, usually found on north-facing volcanic cliffs. It is a wild species with a very limited range and is seldom grown outside its native habitat, so care is mainly a matter of mimicking dry summers and cool, shaded rock faces.
Dudleya parva, known by the common name Conejo dudleya, is a species of deciduous succulent plant native to the Conejo Valley and surrounding regions. It blooms from May to June, and has vernal leaves. It is only found from the western end of Simi Hills along the Montclef Ridge to the Conejo Grade in Newbury Park.
The entire species is located over a 16 km stretch of land on an east–west ridgeline of Conejo volcanics, on the western end of the Simi Hills, along Mountclef Ridge, and terminating near Conejo Grade. This distribution only covers an area of around several hundred acres. The population boundaries exhibits some annual fluctuations, but otherwise it has remained in the same suitable habitat area for some time. The rugged terrain makes tracking populations difficult, along with the summer deciduous habit.
