Little pickles is an evergreen succulent characterized by its dense clumps of fat, swollen, blue-green leaves, each roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. These leaves resemble pickles and commonly exhibit a purple-red hue under drought stress. The plant itself stands no more than 4 inches (10 cm) tall and spreads to about 1 foot (30 cm) wide. Bright yellow daisy-like flowers, about 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) wide, emerge above the foliage from violet-tinted buds, mainly from mid-spring through fall. Little pickles thrives in full sun, requiring well-drained soil and minimal irrigation.
