Scientific Name Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pall.) Kuntze Common Names New Zealand Spinach, Botany Bay Spinach, Cook’s Cabbage, Sea Spinach, Tetragon, Warrigal Greens, Warrigal Cabbage
Synonyms Demidovia tetragonoides (basionym), Tetragonia borealis, Tetragonia expansa Scientific Classification Family: Aizoaceae Genus: Tetragonia
Description Tetragonia tetragonioides is a leafy, succulent groundcover up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall. It has a trailing habit, and will form a thick carpet on the ground or climb through other vegetation and hang downwards. The leaves are up to 6 inches (15 cm) long, triangular in shape, and bright green. They are thick, and covered with tiny papillae that look like waterdrops on the top and bottom of the leaves. The flowers of the plant are yellow, and the fruit is a small, hard capsule covered with small horns.
Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 8a to 11b: from 10 °F (−12.2 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C). How to Grow and Care It is grown for the edible leaves, and can be used as food or an ornamental plant for ground cover. As some of its names signify, it has similar flavour and texture properties to spinach, and is cooked like spinach. Like spinach, it contains oxalates. Its medium to low levels of oxalates need to be removed by blanching the leaves in hot water for one minute, then rinsing in cold water before cooking. It can be found as an invasive plant in North and South America, and has been cultivated along the East Asian rim. It thrives in hot weather, and is considered an heirloom vegetable. Few insects consume it, and even slugs and snails do not seem to feed on it.
The thick, irregularly-shaped seeds should be planted just after the last spring frost. Before planting, the seeds should be soaked for 12 hours in cold water, or 3 hours in warm water. Seeds should be planted 0.2 to 0.4 inches (5 to 10 mm) deep, and spaced 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) apart. The seedlings will emerge in 10 to 20 days, and it will continue to produce greens through the summer.

Scientific Name Aloe suprafoliata Pole-Evans Common Names Book Aloe, Mustache Aloe Scientific Classification Family: Xanthorrhoeaceae Subfamily: Asphodeloideae Genus: Aloe
Description Aloe suprafoliata is a stemless or short-stemmed Aloe, unique in that its growth habit changes as it ages. For a long period of time during this plants juvenile phase the leaves of the plant are distichous or stacked in two rows that parallel each other but as the plant matures the leaves radiate out and develop into in the typical rosettes. The tapering succulent leaves are up to 16 inches (40 cm) long, armed with small teeth along the edges. In less intense sunlight the leaves are blue-green, but in bright conditions they become a milky blue-gray color. In the dry winter conditions prevailing in its native habitat, it is often tinted reddish-brown on the outside of the rosette. The inflorescence of is not branched, but plants can produce up to 6 or more stalks from one rosette, rising up to 3.3 feet (1 m). Even before the flowers open they are attractive, with cylindrical pinkish-red buds tipped in slate gray or purplish gray. The buds are upward-pointing, but as the flowers mature they pivot downward, then pointing back up again as they pass maturity, so that the seed pods are held erectly. The flowers are slender and quite long, up to 2 inches (5 cm).
Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 9a to 11b: from 20 °F (−6.7 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C). How to Grow and Care Aloe is a very forgiving plant, and a well-grown plant can be quite beautiful. As with all succulents, it’s essential that Aloe is never allowed to sit in stagnant water, and the plant should be carefully monitored to watch for signs of overwatering. Water generously in the summer and nearly cease watering in the winter. Do not let water stand in the rosettes.
Aloe are not particularly fast-growing and will only rarely need repotting. Repot plants in the spring that are tipping over their pots or have ceased growing. Use a fast-draining potting mix with one-third sand or pebbles. During repotting of a larger plant, it is possible to carefully divide the root ball.

Scientific Name Sedum furfuraceum Moran Common Names Bonsai Sedum Scientific Classification Family: Crassulaceae Subfamily: Sedoideae Tribe: Sedeae Subtribe: Sedinae Genus: Sedum
Description Sedum furfuraceum is a low growing, branching succulent up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall and spreading slowly up to 1 foot (30 cm) wide, on creeping stems with small upturned up to 0.4 inch (1 cm) long, egg-shaped, dark green leaves, covered in scurfy, whitish scales and aligned in tight spiral rows. Leaves are often reddish purple in bright light and lower leaves turn a reddish-orange hue and later drop off to expose twisted, thick, gray-white stems. In early spring appear the pinkish-white, star-like flowers that each lasts for about 10 days.
How to Grow and Care When growing Sedum, keep in mind that Sedum plants need very little attention or care. They will thrive in conditions that many other plants thrive in, but will do just as well in less hospitable areas. They are ideal for that part of your yard that gets too much sun or too little water to grow anything else. A common name for Sedum is Stonecrop, due to the fact that many gardeners joke that only stones need less care and live longer.
Sedum is easily planted. For shorter varieties, simply laying the plant on the ground where you want it to grow is normally enough to get the Sedum plant started there. They will send out roots from wherever the stem is touching the ground and root itself. If you would like to further ensure that the plant will start there, you can add a very thin covering of soil over the plant. For taller Sedum varieties, you can break off one of the stems and push it into the ground where you would like to grow it.

Scientific Name Crassula sarcocaulis Eckl. & Zeyh. Common Names Bonsai Crassula, Bonsai Jade Synonyms Crassula lignosa, Crassula parvisepala, Crassula sarcocaulis subsp. sarcocaulis
Scientific Classification Family: Crassulaceae Subfamily: Crassuloideae Genus: Crassula
Description Crassula sarcocaulis is a low growing shrub, up to 2 feet (60 cm) tall, with a fat gnarly trunk and stems with peeling bark bearing narrow green succulent leaves and attractive terminal flower clusters in summer. The flowers start as small pink flower buds that open to show off bell-shaped pale-pink flowers.
How to Grow and Care Crassula are easy to grow, but they are susceptible to mealy bugs and fungal diseases. As with all succulents, overwatering is sure to be fatal, so err on the side of too dry rather than too wet. Never let your Crassula sit in water. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. Crassula are generally started by division, offsets or leaf cuttings. Plants can be easily propagated from a single leaf: sprout leaves by placing them into a succulent or cacti mix, then covering the dish until they sprout.
Repot as needed, preferably during the warm season. To repot a succulent, make sure the soil is dry before repotting, then gently remove the pot. Knock away the old soil from the roots, making sure to remove any rotted or dead roots in the process. Treat any cuts with a fungicide. Place the plant in its new pot and backfill with potting soil, spreading the roots out as you repot.

Scientific Name Epithelantha bokei L.D. Benson Common Names Pingpong Ball Cactus, Button Cactus, Boke’s Button Cactus
Synonyms Epithelantha micromeris subsp. bokei Scientific Classification Family: Cactaceae Subfamily: Cactoideae Tribe: Cacteae Subtribe: Cactinae Genus: Epithelantha
Description Epithelantha bokei is a disc-shaped or cylindrical cactus, up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall and usually unbranched. It is so thickly covered in pale-colored spines that it is white or yellowish in color. There are up to 90 on each areole. The delicate pale pink flowers are up to 0.7 inch (1.7 cm) long and wide. The red fruit is 0.4 inch (1 cm) long. Much of the plant is located below ground, with a few centimeters above. It contracts into the ground during dry periods.
How to Grow and Care To encourage better flowering, allow the plants to enjoy a cooling period in the winter and suspend watering. Unlike many other cacti, which use their ribs as storage devices, the Mammillaria feature raised tubercles, from which spines emerge. When you water, the tubercles will expand to allow for increased water storage. The flowers emerge from the axils of these tubercles on the previous year’s growth, which accounts for their interesting halo effect. It’s imperative that the cactus is not exposed to prolonged dampness and sitting water. Never let your cactus sit in a dish of water. Lastly, make sure to fertilizer during the growing season for the best results.
Repot as needed, preferably during the warm season. To repot a cacti, make sure the soil is dry before repotting, then gently remove the pot.

Scientific Name Dudleya farinosa (Lindl.) Britton & Rose Common Names Bluff Lettuce, Powdery Liveforever, Powdery Dudleya, North Coast Dudleya, Sea Lettuce
Synonyms Echeveria farinosa (basionym), Cotyledon compacta, Cotyledon eastwoodiae, Cotyledon farinosa, Cotyledon lingula, Cotyledon septentrionalis, Dudleya compacta, Dudleya eastwoodiae, Dudleya lingula, Dudleya septentrionalis, Echeveria compacta, Echeveria eastwoodiae, Echeveria farinosa, Echeveria lingula, Echeveria septentrionalis
Scientific Classification Family: Crassulaceae Subfamily: Sedoideae Tribe: Sedeae Subtribe: Sedinae Genus: Dudleya
Description Dudleya farinosa is a succulent plant, variable in appearance from drab to spectacular. It grows from a branching caudex and forms a basal rosette of wide, pointed, spade-shaped leaves, up to 2.4 inches (6 cm) across. The leaves are generally very pale green but they often have edges or tips of bright colors, particularly bright reds. The plant erects a tall stem which is pale green with pink or red tinting, atop which it bears a branching flower cluster with many pale to bright yellow flowers.
How to Grow and Care Most of the myriad habitats Dudleyas occupy become dry in summer. Therefore, it is important to cut off water to Dudleyas in your garden during summer. Plants grown in sandy soils or containers are exceptions; they will accept infrequent summer watering as long as the soil drains well. The onset of fall or winter rains reawakens Dudleyas from drought-induced dormancy. Their shriveled leaves plump up quickly, growth resumes, and flowering occurs during the next spring or summer. Dudleyas are amazingly resilient; if a portion of a colony sloughs off a cliff face or is uprooted by a burrowing animal, it can persist for months until soil contact is reestablished. Species that naturally grow on ocean bluffs are also salt-spray tolerant.
Dudleyas have their share of disease and pest problems. If you can prevent Argentine Ants from introducing mealybugs or aphids to your Dudleyas, they will be healthier.
