This stunning large cross of Dyckia platyphylla x ‘Carlsbad‘ has many spiny arching leaves in a rosette to well over 18 inches. One of the most colorful of Dyckia hybrids, it has reddish/brown leaves in full sun or a deep burgundy color in lower light.

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 hybrid from Q Dyckia in Thailand. The parentage is Hechtia and Dyckia but the Hechtia characteristics are not seen. The inflorescence is like your typical Dyckia. Grows to 12 inches across. The leaves are narrow and armed with large spines. The leaf color is a glossy black and the spines are white. Grow in full sun to get optimum color.
