Dudleya saxosa subsp. aloides
Also called Desert savior, Panamint Liveforever, Desert Liveforever
Desert dudleya is a small rosette-forming succulent from the rocky Mojave and Sonoran deserts of California, grown for its yellow flowers. It thrives on fast-draining, gritty soil and needs little water, with the key being to avoid overwatering.
Dudleya saxosa subsp. aloides is a species of perennial succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae known by the common names desert dudleya or desert savior. It is a rosette-forming species widely distributed throughout the rocky parts of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of California in the United States. It is characterized by bright-yellow or greenish-yellow flowers, and can be found in shaded crevices and slopes.
This species is found primarily in the Peninsular Ranges and on desert mountains in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts in California, USA. It likely does not occur in Mexico. Plants in the northernmost section of the distribution tend to be smaller, while plants near the type locality of Dudleya grandiflora, near Banning, are larger. Plants in western portion of the distribution in the Peninsular Ranges approach Dudleya lanceolata, and hybrids are expected. This species is found growing in rocky, shaded slopes and crevices.
