Dudleya virens
ssp. hassei) is a succulent perennial herb native to Santa Catalina Island. It tends to grow in rocks and cliffs, at elevations from sea level to 1,300 feet. It spreads slowly outward like many other Dudleyas, and in maturity it will form a clump up to 4 ft. across while remaining very low. It was formerly recognized as a distinct species, D. hassei, and some authorities still list it that way. It is closely related to
Dudleya edulis
and looks very similar, both species having leaves that are round in cross section. It has less resemblance to the other two subspecies of D. virens, ssp. insularis and ssp. virens, which have somewhat flattened leaves.
Plant in a sunny well draining spot, preferably on a steep rocky bank, cliff or rock wall. Needs no supplemental irrigation after established in it's natural seashore conditions. Performs best near the coast but could be used inland with shade and more water.
