Wonderful Calandrinia Spectabilis Succulent Garden Plant
Calandrinia spectabilis is a spectacular, shrubby perennial, up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall, with succulent, light to mid-green, diamond-shaped leaves. The leaves have soft hair and smooth margins. Flowers are poppy-shaped, bright magenta, and rise above the foliage on up to 2 feet (60 cm) long stalks.
Calandrinia spectabilis This spectacular Chilean perennial gets my highest recommendation as the best, super EASY, everblooming, deer-resistant plant for a dry garden or difficult spot.
A parade of charming, hot pink, flowers dances above fleshy blue-green rosettes from spring until first frost. This sturdy plant thrives in heat and drought when established, blooming nearly year-round in warm, frost-free regions. A handsome succulent that will infuse vibrant color to dry rock gardens, mixed borders, and containers. Evergreen.
Rock purslane (Calandrinia spectabilis) is a frost-tender perennial that, in mild climates, produces masses of bright purple and pink, poppy-like blooms that attract bees and butterflies from spring until fall. The foliage is an attractive shade of bluish green.
Calandrinia s are very easy to care for as they can tolerate prolonged dry periods. They do not like to much water, especially in the winter. Plants can grow as a short-lived perennial in warm regions but should be grown as annuals elsewhere. Propagate by taking cuttings or allow plants to self-seed in situ.
Calandrinia spectabilis (aka Calandrinia grandiflora) - Rock Purslane. Rock Purslane is a lovely water-wise choice for rock gardens, borders and desert landscapes! Deep magenta flowers bloom nearly year-round.
Ships to the US mainland only.
No shipping to PR.
