Description

This succulent perennial is very small, growing only 2"-3" high. It does best in full or partial sun and well draining soil. Established plants need little water but will do better with additional water during hot spells. Attracts hummingbirds. Tolerates coastal conditions. Orange flowers bloom in summer. Foliage is outstanding with lavender pink-tinged leaves.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
