Chalk Lettuce is a slow-growing succulent forming large, ground-level rosettes that reach 12 to 18 inches (30 to 46 cm) in diameter. Its distinctive leaves are chalky-white and typically feature a powdery coating, giving them a frosted appearance. The plant's basal stem can thicken up to 2 inches (5 cm). In late spring to early summer, it produces stout flowering spikes, silvery-white in color and ranging from 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) in height, adorned with clusters of reddish blooms.
