Plant height: Generally low, with a ground cover or compact tuft habit, typically reaching 10-20 cm in height.
Uses: Excellent as an ornamental plant for rock gardens, xeriscaping (low-water gardening), potted cultivation on balconies and terraces, or as a valuable specimen in succulent collections.
