Your plant will be shipped with the roots wrapped in damp paper towels and with plastic and ready to plant upon arrival. The plant will be between 4” to 6” in height with well-developed roots. Planting guidelines will also be included.

Rock Purslane is a showy flowering succulent with a delicate appearance that makes it perfect for rock gardens, cottage gardens, and containers. Forms a 2 to 3 foot wide mound of diamond-shaped, green/blue foliage arranged in small rosettes. In late spring and early summer, bright magenta flowers are held 1 to 2 feet high above the foliage on delicate, waving stems.

Performs best in well-drained soil with regular to occasional water. Can take full sun exposure on the coast but appreciates some protection from hot afternoon sun inland. Generally a short-lived succulent, it may need to be replanted every 2 to 3 years.
