Calandrinia grandiflora
abundantly colorful. The bright magenta flowers bloom from
mid-Spring through much of the Summer and into the Fall, particularly if
the flower stalks are periodically removed as they start to age. The
gray succulent foliage of Calandrinia grandiflora grow 12-18" tall
and will slowly spread to 3 feet or more wide. Calandrinia
grandiflora grows well in full sun and will tolerate a moderate amount of
shade and still bloom. The Rock Purslane is quite drought tolerant
once established and is relatively hardy as succulents go, withstanding
Winter nights down into the low teens.
