Jovibarba heuffelii Polderland
The plant likes full sun. It is suitable for the rock garden or portable containers.
In a pot, water after the substrate has dried out. When placing in a rock garden, water at your own discretion.
The plant is frost hardy, withstanding temperatures down to -34.4 °C.
Water the container only after the substrate has completely dried out. Natural rainfall is often sufficient for rock gardens.
Jovibarba heuffelii Polderland is a cultivar bred by Cornelis Versteeg from the Netherlands in 2001. It forms rosettes up to 5 cm in size with broadly spatulate, shortly pointed leaves. The basic colouring is green-yellow with a pinkish tint, and the shades may change during the year depending on light, temperatures and growing conditions, including the composition of the soil.
It is best grown in a sunny position in a well-draining, predominantly mineral substrate, where prolonged waterlogging should be avoided. It is suitable for rock gardens, dry stone walls and containers with drainage, and tolerates year-round outdoor cultivation without problems. Thanks to its smaller rosettes and variable colouring, it works well both in mixed plantings and as a single specimen.
