Dudleya candelabrum
is a succulent plant known by the common name candleholder liveforever, or candleholder dudleya. This plant is endemic to California, where it grows wild only on the northern Channel Islands. It is also cultivated and kept as an attractive potted ornamental. This plant grows from a basal rosette of leaves up to half a meter wide atop a thick, hardy caudex. Each leaf is a pale green to pinkish-green spade shape with a sharp point. The unbranched stem is generally erect but often bending under the weight of the flower cluster it holds. The flower cluster branches and holds up to 25 knobby flowers on each branch. The flower has yellowish petals within its pink-tinged green sepals.
