The plant(s) that you will be planting have a history. Their ancestors go back to Germany, where these “house-leeks” were used to cover a house’s roof. Kathleen Obirek’s  neighbor, now 91 years old, brought a few from Germany, many, many years ago- the plant she dearly cherishes.  In your outdoor garden, grow them in containers, in a rock  garden, in the poorest of soils. This is a must have succulent, foretelling of a “long life”, even in harsh conditions.
