Painted-lady is characterized by its compact, rosette growth habit, typically measuring around 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter. The fleshy, triangular leaves boast a striking green hue adorned with red margins, making it visually distinct. Seasonally, painted-lady produces vibrantly colored yellow flowers accented with red tips on slim stalks during the spring. Each rosette has the ability to spread laterally, forming clusters that may cover an area approaching 3 feet (about 91 cm). This succulent thrives best when exposed to full sunlight and requires minimal water.
