A Michael Kiehl hybrid. Long narrow burgundy black leaves with white spines. Light silver scurf on the leaves. Matures at 14-16 inches across. Grows best in bright light or full sun. Dyckias need to be watered weekly during the dry times of the year.

I wish I could tell you what the parentage to this Dyckia is. It appears to have D. marnier-lapostolle in its blood lines, but we do not know for sure. For certain though it is a very nicely shaped plant with wide silvery leaves bearing very large marginal spines. The leaves are very stiff and recurve downwards forming a ball-like appearance. This is a very decorative plant.

This was a marnier-lapostolle hybrid by Bill Baker with the pollen parent unknown or unreported. A medium grower with deep burgundy-red leaves, white below. The leaves bear fairly large spines and are rather thick and triangular in shape.

A medium size growing Dyckia by Bill Baker. This plant has broad leaves tapering to a point, curving slightly downward in a graceful rosette to about 10 inches across. The color is dark green with heavy white scurf, almost white in strong light with bold-white triangular spines set one against the next along the leaf margins. Grows best in bright filtered light to full sun. If you want to grow in the full sun makes sure it is watered on a regular basis. 

Yet unnamed, this Sharon Petersen hybrid of Dyckia choristaminea and an unreported other Dyckia as pollen parent is a smaller grower. Compact rosettes of narrow, bronze/red leaves dusted with silvery white scurffing are about six inches across when mature. The leaves, though narrow, are wider than the choristaminea parent, at about a quarter inch.

A species Dyckia from a rock outcropping in the cerrado, Brazil endemic to the state of Goyas. This was a special cultivar selected by Bill Baker for having pink spines.

A beautiful undescribed species that has been in cultivation for some years with the name fragrans, unofficial but long accepted. Uniformly bronze colored with stiff, arching leaves in a 20 inch rosette, produces a simple spike of yellow fragrant flowers. A stunningly handsome plant. A prolific and easy plant to grow, thriving in full sun.

A hybrid as yet unnamed that is attractive in every way. A nicely shaped plant with long leaves about an inch wide tapering to a point that twist and curl in an attractive way forming a 12 inch rosette. The leaves are silvery all over including the substantial marginal spines. This Dyckia also forms many offsets making attractive clusters.

A dense rosette of glossy, coppery to chestnut-brown recurving leaves and marginal spines. We are offering a select seedling from the grex. Dyckias prefer to be grown in bright light to full sun.

A new introduction for 2024. The plant that we are offering were grown from wild collected seed. The plant forms a large rosette, to over 12in across, with recurving stiff chartreuse leaves that have really large white hooked spines. Very attractive. Mature size is 12 to 14 inches across.  We originally believe this plant to be a clone of Dyckia burle-marxii.
