Description

This attractive succulent reaches 1'-2' tall and wide. Foliage is deciduous, small, light green, and cabbage-like. Plate-like, pink flowers turn to red from summer through fall. This dependable perennial is great for borders, containers, and rock gardens. It prefers full to part sun and occasional watering once it's established. Bees and butterflies love this plant too.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
