Ochogavia Elegans

Description

Ochogavia elegans is an elegant and hardy succulent-like plant that forms a striking rosette of narrow, spiky leaves with a bluish-green hue. The plant’s compact form makes it an excellent addition to dry gardens, rockeries, or tropical-themed landscapes. In late spring to early summer, Ochogavia elegans produces tall, slender flower stems topped with tubular red or orange flowers that contrast beautifully against the foliage. The flowers attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds.

Preferring full sun and well-drained, sandy or rocky soil, Ochogavia elegans is perfect for creating architectural interest in xeriscapes or low-maintenance gardens. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, it is drought-tolerant once established and requires little attention beyond occasional watering during dry spells. Whether used as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or as part of a succulent collection, Ochogavia elegans adds texture, color, and visual appeal to the landscape.
