Dyckia bromeliad is a small plant that can survive long periods of drought, not because it stores water in its parts like succulents, but because it goes dormant. It grows in rocky habitats, often on bare rocks, therefore it's often used in xeriscaping and rock gardens.
Dyckia marnier-lapostollei features a rosette of silver-gray leaves, armed with hooked spines that protect it in its arid native habitats. Each leaf curls slightly inward, a design that helps to funnel sparse rainfall towards the plant's base, maximizing water collection. During bloom, dyckia marnier-lapostollei surprises with a shaft of vivid orange flowers, an adaptation to attract the few pollinators in its tough environment.
