'Cherry Cola' dyckia (Dyckia fosteriana 'Cherry Cola') DIK-ee-ah foss-ter-ee-AY-nah 'Cherry Cola' , a relatively new cultivar, features deep, dark burgundy foliage and small but sharp teeth (handle with care!).

Care:  Provide full sun and well-drained soil. Use care when handling plants, as the toothed leaf edges are very sharp. Propagation:  Divide plants in late spring or early summer.
