Description

Spectacular, easy, and almost endlessly blooming, Calandrinia spectabilis is a Chilean succulent perennial that brings serious color to dry gardens and difficult spots. From late spring into fall, and often far beyond in mild climates, it produces hundreds of bright cerise, rose-like flowers that bounce above attractive blue-green succulent foliage.

Also known as rock purslane, this deer-resistant succulent forms a dense, spreading groundcover about 15" tall and up to 4' wide, making it fabulous for slopes, dry borders, retaining walls, rock gardens, large containers, and water-wise landscapes. The vivid flowers look gorgeous against gravel, silver foliage, grasses, agaves, aeoniums, and other drought tolerant plants.

Plant Calandrinia spectabilis in full sun with sharply drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant, low maintenance, and wonderfully generous, with no deadheading required for a long bloom show. Cut back as needed to refresh the plant and keep it tidy.
