Dudleya brittonii is naturally found in North America from Baja California to north-west Mexico. It grows in a moderately fertile humus rich, very well drained soil in an open sunny position and tolerates drought or high temperatures but is frost tender. 

Chalk Duddleya is a succulent that is grown for its foliage and is used in rockeries or arid gardens as a specimen or in group plantings. It is also used as a container plant establishing from cuttings in 2 to 3 years. It is excellent colour contrast in a front border planting requiring little maintenance once established and is easy to grow. ID 1883

The short stems are covered in old leaf bases giving it a thick appearance.
