Moonstones

Small clusters of bright yellow flowers are held on 8 inch stems above the pearly turquoise rounded leaves. Moonstones are a favorite for their beautifully colored, large inflated leaves on short spreading plants. The flowers are not common and add a bright cheery surprise during the doldrums of Chicago winters. Like other succulents, bright light, low humidity and soils that dry between irrigations are keys to success.
