It is unique among the genus Dudleya in that it has sticky, fragrant leaves, a trait only shared with Dudleya anomala.

Its sticky leaves are lined with stiff bristles which capture unsuspecting prey upon contact, its large white to purple flowers bloom late in the spring, and its succulent leaves retain moisture during the dry season.

[8] [9] The plant grows to over a meter high, [1] has hollow square stems like others in the mint family Lamiaceae, large leaves, and occasional white flowers with violet calyxes. Botanists have not determined whether S. divinorum is a cultigen or a hybrid because native plants reproduce vegetatively and rarely produce viable seed. [10] [11]
